Nice!!!! So You cant break them even with the traction OFF? If not thats freaking ridiculous. Did you have to atleast reroute the wiring harness on the drivers side or use wheel spacers?

I can testify that these tires, atleast for me on the street, can from a dead stop with TC off launch full out with basically no spin at all.

traction control off. I did not reroute the harness yet and no spacers. I looked and it's only slightly rubbing. AND....these tires are NOT the 305/35-20, they're the 275/40-20 which are even taller. But I will do the reroute soon just to be safe.

BTW, I did not but these...they were already on the car. I would've went with the 305's myself. Wider and about 1/4" shorter.

Okay, so Your SS CAME with 40s on the rear, I thought they came with 35s rear, 40s Front. Interesting.

I bought it used. The previous owner put on the Nitto 555R's.

correct...I could not break them loose even at 28lbs. I'm leaving at an idle. not even a chirp. The same cannot be said while on the street.

Looks great and appear to hook much better than the run flats!

Just curious, what's the offset on the front wheels and what size spacer did you need to clear the strut housing?

Bad for the rear end?!

So wondering how the nittos are holding up and how much they have worn? I really wish I could fine a drag radial in the same diameter as the stock tire. I would probably choose the 305s like you did instead of the 285's especially since the narrower ones are bigger in diameter.

I looked at the Mickey Thompsons and their sizes look to be the same sizes Nitto has available. Is there anyone else who makes "street" drag radials? Seems like drag radials are the only option to actually use all of the power, even with stock/bolt ons power. It looks like the PSC2s and those super expensive tires will still spin with stock/bolt on LT1 power.

You have 305's on a 9.5" SS rim?

It'll fit. Not the most optimal, but it fits.
