Very pretty ...

Please post pics when the wheels/tires are on your SHO.

let us know how they are....they're less than $100 each for my size.

DdakRT has the same size/tires , hes the one who recommanded me these , maybe he can chime in since he has some millage on them.

But yea im looking foward on these things , they look and feel like sticky tires.

What are you trying to compare? Theres not really a lot of things you can compare between a 16" tire and an 18" tire. The sidewall is so much stiffer on my BFG KDW2s which are reinforced, not to mention being low profile.

The only thing I can really comment is that they're pretty sticky, and is definitely plenty for the majority of SHOs out there besides the selected few. Ride is acceptable for 18".

Can't say much about how they're wearing though, barely have 2000 miles on them.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time with some 17" MX's on the turbo SHO. Great traction, good ride, wore fairly well.

very interesting, but would rather see pics of them on the car rather than in it.

 

[guitar]

Still waiting on the fender roller , Im supposed to get it today. Is so , this weekend it should be done.

I've been using MXs for a few years - great grip, decent ride and life. Well actually the 1st 500 miles or so you should take it easy and let the mold release dissipate. Once they've worn down a bit they are great dry autocross tires.

Mine are 225/50 16 on XR-7 wheels. By the looks of your wheels you may have trouble in front with the spring seat. I haven't compared your overall diameter to mine but mine just make it. Your wheels look like they have a lot more offset (tire sits more inside).

Good luck,
