oooh yeahh....

Just ordered some BFG g-force T/A Drag Radials! 275/35/18 - I'm going to put them on my wheels and just remount the others if needed for a road trip or something. Otherwise, these new ones will be my full time tire. I only drive the Z about 150 miles a month anyway. Not too bad a price at discounttiredirect.com - about $200 a pop. Traction, here I come!
Can't wait til next Wednesday.

The Nittos are on backorder all over the country - these are less expensive, too.

From their website: "Traction grades represent the tire's ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on asphalt and concrete test services. As of 1997, the traction grades from highest to lowest are "AA", "A", "B" and "C". A tire graded "AA" may have relatively better traction performance than a tire graded lower, based on straight-ahead braking tests. The grades do not take into consideration the cornering or turning performance of a tire."

Misleading title, for sure.

I should be ok with these axles in the 400whp range.
