Should see mine today, coming from South Bend.
Ordered 04/08
Doesn't look like too much tire at 255/40/17 for the stock rims. Have to say apparently very well built they only took a total of 2.5 ounces of lead to balance 4 tires. 3 of them only needed 1 weight. Neil said hot and fresh I can vouch for the fresh DOT number says 13th week of 12.
Grab em quick guys they won't last long.

This wasn't at the edge of the tire's traction btw. And I wasn't just pitching it into the corner. It was actually steady state when these pics were taken.
EDIT: 255 40 17 on 17x8 +35

+1. And camber.
I'm at 32psi cold on all 4s going up to 38ish on the front and 36 on the back. With -2.5f -1.8r 0 toe alignment. As you can see from my pic the tire doesn't roll on its side wall. And that was a hard turn at (if I had to guess....not looking at my speedo) 65 to 80mph.

just ordered a set of these from tire rack. like all times before, that company is the best.
I called rather than online order, because i need the tires for competition next week; wanted to be sure they were in stock at my nearest distribution center. Guy was super helpful on the phone, familiar with the tire etc. They are near me, he gave me an ETA and ETD.
just hope i can get them broken in and good to go before the competition...

I've heard from a lot of guys running them that you have to air them up anywhere from 5-10psi more than other tires with stiffer sidewalls. Some guys out here won't run them on anything heavier than 2800-3000lbs because of the sidewalls. Aired up though, they are great.
