Well jon you seem to have forgotten one thing what kind of tires were they? also has anyone heard anything about the BFGs and how much do they run?

I am obviously not a FWD car and I do not know what that matters. Most of the stock rear wheel drive cars have more factory HP than the imports and are closer to your HP level than most of the imports in stock form that is.

That was not meant to be a slam on the imports just the facts so lets not start that debate.

Anyway Yokohama makes several awesome tires. Go to Tire Rack.com and look at the very high/ultra perfromance tires. The new Nitto Drag radial is supposed to be the absolute best. I will post the exact model number back up when I get home.
