I bought 345 NT05R drag radials and left the oem tires up front until I found out they were corded on the inside of the tire so I put 285 nt05 street tires up front.

I would think it would only throw off the AH at higher speeds. Something in the neighborhood of 120+ or so. I could be wrong. Some have reported issues and some haven't.

I ran the same set up and if I accelerated quickly, then let off the gas I'd get a message on the DIC 'engine drag control'. But no real issues.

A friend is running those with no issues, and mine just came in and I'm not expecting any issues.

I'll admit when I picked them up yesterday, I was a bit blown away by the size of the 345's.

Here is a pic of a Goodyear 325 vs a Nitto 345. The only reason I don't have them anymore is I sold them with the wheels they were on when I picked up a new set of chrome spyders.

I purchased the Invo's without fully appreciating the significant impact they would have on the steering input and turn in.
