Default Pics with the new Dunlop SP 8000's.....

Click on the pics for larger ones....








Over all they're great tires. I love them. They stick EXTREMELY well in the rain. They also lowered the car a tad, but that down side to that is that they don't really fill the wheel well all that well. I do like the agressive looking tread. It fits the car real well. And I kinda like the look of the shorter tires. '

On the down side It's like I know have like a 3.90 rear or so (I have 3.73's). With the 3.73's and TH-400 the RPM are a little higher and the speedo is a little more off than what it was from just going to 3.08's to 3.73's. But, I'm sure a nice over-drive trans will cure all of my RPM and fuel consume problems. Either way I love the tires. They car corners a lot better too...


:cheers:
Aaron :chevy

Those look great. I just installed new rear tires. It's nice to have more traction.

Aaron,

What is the diameter of these tires versus a 255-60-15?

They are approximately 30mm smaller radius, so car would be about 3 cm lower. Not much. About 1/3". Someone check my math if I am wrong.
