Have you seen how much rain we've had here??

I broke traction with tc and sc in first gear. I drove my car 5 months last year and switched my tires back in may, tread is fine.

I had no idea when I started this thread, we would end up in a state of emergency. The sun is finally out, but roads and the deerfoot are still flooded in areas along the river.

I haven't had my car out since Thursday and doubt it will be out for a few more days even though we are not affected by the flooding where I live.

Maybe the 305's wil last you longer. Harder for your 1LE to spin. They might have well been bicycle tires on my ZL1 when davenport got through with it. It sucked we only got a few runs at castrol but I ran in the 11's when I did run. Another 11.6X @ 124 grrrr still didn't crack 11.5

I've got Nitto Invo's on my car, 20" - 245's in front and 295's in the back, I drove it all month bit since its been raining, and I can get away with a lot on those tires, but I do also have a few less ponies lol. I felt quite alright in a downpour, even on the highway, I just take it a bit easier...almost as good in the rain, AMAZING when they're dry.

Its a good time to switch to the 305's, the 285's look like hell on those wide rims IMO of course
