yea, same size tires here but theyre 555R's, and no stall. my best 60' was a 1.85 on the 20" radials. i really need a lower 60...im hoping these (plus some seat time) will help.

I ran Nitto NT05rs before the Mickeys and my recommendation would be to go with the Mickeys once you use up the Nittos. They wear faster, I'm about to mount my second set, but stick much better. That being said, practice, practice, practice! I made about 300 passes on my Nittos, more on my old 2010 SS than my ZL1, and have run my Z about 300 passes. Starting to get the hang of it finally!

Do you still have the 20's? If you do can you weigh them so we can exactaly what the weight savings is? If you are saving 10-15 pounds each, that would be a great.

I don't have the 20's with the 555r's on them. They have Invo's on them now. Could still weigh them if you want.

Doesn't that video show wheelspin through first and a 1.67 60 foot time?
If so, I certainly wouldn't say no problem.

What's that car capable of 60 footing? I'd guess 1.4's with a 4L80E and that kind of power?

The 1.67 is the R/T. I didn't see wheel spin but I heard it. Not sure which one it was coming from though.

I wish our track would flash the 60' time on the sign. It would be nice to see while the feeling was still fresh in your head.
