Anybody Running a 295/45/17 MT ET Street

Just curious as to if anyone here has tried these tires out?:

I just had a set delivered that I want to try and see how they work compared to my Hoosier bias slicks. They are only supposed to be .8" shorter but they look a little shorter than that. Guess I'll get a little extra gearing.

They're 27.5" tall (measured on weld rt-s) versus the hoosier at probably 28". You dont need to change your gears, even with 4.10s, they're still good for 141mph in the quarter at 7000 rpm, with 3.45s they're good to well over 155.
They stick amazing.

Thank you. I was curious as to how they hook. I'm excited to try them. I'm thinking they will work well. We got them on the Bogarts today! My car won't be going 155 mph but thats nice to know.

Won't hook near as well as the Hoosier slicks did, But I was cutting consistant 1.6X 60's with occasional 1.5's using that size tire.

I'll be happy with a 1.6 60'. That would put the car well into the 9's. Plenty fast for me!!
