B series TQ wont annihilate The M&Hs short of >500 WHP in third. With the pressure dropped in them they do nasty things with just a little heat in them.
They hook my **** up in third solid with 15 Psi in them making 520/385. Id say around 400 ish in second... 5th gear spins them at 750 WHP, but I make 575 Tq at that level. Also, My box is SHORT, 5th is 1:1. Ive been running them for 3 years, theyre the only tires the front of my car sees, WAY better than the MTs as mentioned, and I drive it every day its sunny out.
I daily them at 17 PSI and drop them to 11-12 on the weekends. With that air in them they hook 450 in second SOLID, and as mentioned, my POS makes some TQ, with short gears, but Ive spent alot of time ****ing with the suspension to get it to hook like it does on the street. For how heavy it is and the po3wer it makes it hooks pretty ****in good
I agree with the 14" rim statement, IF you can swing it... But I cant fit 14s over the Big brakes on the front

You need a 235/60 to hook with over 500whp no matter what. I like the 235/60 M&H and MT. Obviously the M&H hook better though.

2nd run "might" be me ;O) against 630 WHP HPF M3. Dig race had to come around up top... "I" was about 650 so its about right.

What size rim is needed (including offset) to run a 255/60R15 on a EG? I have a set of S2K rims, but I think the offset is going to be a problem for me even with wheel spacers. Plus they are only 7.5" wide...

im not at this power level yet. But loving the talk about the rock 14s. I cant find anyone that wants to sell some HX wheels. I should have never sold the EK optional wheels i had that were 14s.
So for a 14in rim would a 215/60 or 225/60 tire? I have two sets of 14in steelies one of which is on my car. And im looking for some good tires to order to put up front.

Yeah, I need to find at least a 6" wide 14" steelie. I would love to run the 235/60/14's on stock 94 EX hubcaps. Would be an eye opener on the street. I already have my track setup sorted out, but a decent tire for the street would make daily driving all the more fun.
