You have about 50-60 more whp than I do, do these R's hook properly for you?

Thanks in advance.

I’m using them as well on the stock SS rear wheels. They are very livable on the street and better at the track than they get credit for.

Did the tire places try to get out of mounting them for you? or did you have a local shop do it? Everyone around here acts like they don't want to do it being its a "oversized" tire and probably for the liability reasons.

No issues. I had them mounted up on the Hunter Revolution “touch free” mounting machine, then road force balanced with the Hunter Elite. But Nittos are always just a tick narrower than other brands so that is probably why it works out. I wouldn’t try to go any wider on the stock SS rear wheels IMO.

Tirebarn on Coldwater Rd will mount them up no issue.
