I would honestly have no use for the fronts and I don't even think I could sell them individually.

Mine are getting pretty worn, not sure what you are used to but I'm used to driving on tires that range in extremes from brand new to showing cords. These are getting closer to their golden years.

I would rate these 555R's as quite worn, personally I'll drive on 'em until the fall but some might not like how they look.

Yeah I would probably end up recycling them. I couldn't even keep one as a backup if I bend a rim being a 45th and all.

I will have to see about this check tomorrow. I'm supposed to be getting a bonus along with the difference in my raise I got last week with 3 months of back pay (the difference between my old pay and my new)

I'll look to get these slicks Jerry, and again you can try 'em too if you like, especially if you are still hunting for that 10.99 pass. (update your sig to show off that 11.18!).

I have spare axles, maybe I should source a spare driveshaft too.

haha, yeah if i try out those slick... i will probably need both. As well as a new rear end again.

Although i think because my rear end literally has less than 3000 miles on it. I think it can take a few more aggressive launches before blowing up again. so i might be ok.

I think if i were to try out the slicks and visit jim for some tuning help. i can get that 10.99.
