M/T 295/50-16 drag radials installed today

Got my new 295/50-16 (28x11.5-16) et street radial II's yesterday, put em on at work today.

Had to remove the bump stops and some of the sheet metal above the bumps. Also had to clearance (hit with hammer) inside the wheel well. The mods were very minor and took less than an hour. I'm running iroc 16x8's, and they look great, no bulging sidewall at all. I'll post pics soon. Anyway, just wanted to let ya'll know how easy it was. It rained right before i left so i didn't try em out yet. I'll post some results when I do.

Just ran a 13.49 at 104.5 1/4 mile and 4.80 0-60 using my g-tech meter. Ran 5.10s 0-60 before the new tires.
