Nice!

It took a few calls for me to get my 315/35/17's mounted as well. Sears, STS Tire and one other place all said "we have no idea, but we can only try." Finally found a place that didn't even question it and said yes right away.

RW Tire in Bordentown off Rt 206.

i picked them because i heard they are better than the others in the rain, but i dont think any dr's are actually good in the rain so i have to take it easy.The only thing is they feel so soft i think they might last 5k miles if it was a dd and to the track.My other option was MT's but wanted to try these since they are new. I am going to trry and find some quiet place so i can try a launch, i did the 2nd gear stomp yesterday and no spinning at all, normally i could spin 2nd no problem and even 3rd depending on the rpms.They look huge when there not on the rim, i measured them at 12 1/2 inches wide not mounted and like 11 3/4 after, just like the street tires, i post up on them later.

i went to 4 places and the one that did it was Good yr on ringwood ave in haskell, he told me he had a camaro he raced a while back, said its no problem and used rubber so he didnt scratch rim. I told them i'll be back in the future.
