they sure as hell hook alot better obviously... but when i put them on the car... from behind and underneith... they look just as wide as my stock 275's...

and they say 26/11.5/16 on the side... but the contact area of the tire is almost less than 10 inches (i measured it)


i thought they were gonna look badass too

 

If they hook, who cares?

Isn't 11.50 the section width? Section width on a 275/40/17 is something like 11", so they'd be pretty similar. Tread width on a 275 is 9 or 9.5" too.

So, not surprising.

Thats a great way to break your rear end

 

YEAH! precisely why none of us modify our cars... and take them to the track... and try to get better times each time... and everyone knows... since none of us do that... there is no need for traction... because after all... traction just slows ya down


[EDIT] do not test the language filter.

 

Wow who pissed in your wheaties today?

 

He was correct, that is a great way to break your rear end. Sure lots of us modify our cars and race them and want better times, but lots of us can't afford a 12 bolt or 9" and therefore avoid slicks/drag radials. Us broke people can't afford traction good for you if you can, just plan on replacing that rear end eventually.
