Driving in the rain on radials FTW!

[Matts94Z28]

Sounds like Carl is in the race car class to me.

[1998ta__1991rs]

im pretty sure they do not have a DOT number, which is required for it to be a DOT tire

[Carlrx7]

lol, dont make me have to start knocking out some teeth in this bitch! hahaha, i will run these, if your scared then dont line up. i like racing by myself anyways. to put my car in the "race car" class is ridiculous. i put more miles on my car then all those race cars combined for the year, in a month!

i thought about going to the hoosiers.. i just love my mickeys though.

ya, ive always heard that MT ET Streets where the best, but i just wanted to try something different, and these are 6 pounds lighter per tire.. i bet i will get a whole season out of these.
