Hi Craig, sorry for the slowness replying;

Your second tread pattern (as above) for the whole set.

Heres the tirerack link; http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....+Drag+Radial+2

I got 275/50/R15 rears and 235/60/R15 fronts. I'd have to say they aren't for everyone, they are pretty soft on the sidewalls so are a little squirmy but have great grip once you get the pressures right. The wider ones have a solid slick band in the middle of about 3 inches and are quite sticky flicking stones up etc. The fronts had good tread depth but the rears had very shallow tread depth (you can see this on the specs).

I'd have to say that the part I cant get over is the thing just wants to brake go around corners now, and I feel like I can pull it down from any speed as hard as I like without breaking traction. Steering is a lot lighter also as I'm going down from 255 to 235s on the front but again so far I've not found a cornering limit despite them being narrow.

I had to drop the rears to 28psi before they would hold on under normal accel when it hits the torque band. I've still not worked out how to get it to hook up solidly off the line but I've not had much time on them yet.

Hope this helps

Andy
