Did you have to do anything special to get them in? I was thinking about running those but if it is too much effort I will stick with 275s.

Where did you get them and how much? What tire pressure are you running?

FWIW, I have used both the 275 and the 315 BFG DRs and the 315s didn't hook any better for me, so I stayed (at the time) with the 275s because the wheel and tire combo with the 275s was lighter...Now I run the 255 50 16 M/T DR and they hook better than the BFGs ever did...and surprisingly, they seem to be lasting quite well with regular street driving, too...No one can believe that the little 255s hook like they do....Throw them on some 16x8 stockers and surprise everybody...$160/each 1.60-1.70 60's

Those BFGs hook awesome. My last set of 315s only lasted about 1800 miles. Goin' Nitto this time, they last like 3 times as long.

Thats kind of what I was thinking of doing, I should be upgrading to 17 in. ZR-1s pretty soon once my bonus check comes through and I'll run BFG 275 DRs on the street and I"ll throw some M/T DRs on my old 16s for the track.
