I thought you were spinning when you took off one of the times I saw, but wasn't sure. Everybody I know of was having issues hooking though. apparently they've all got too much power LOL. Either way your car is a monster.

The 315/35/18 R888's are mounted now. We had to roll the fenders and trim the wells a bit. We are ready to go.

I run R888s on the street. Love the traction. Street longevity is also good. I have 3k street miles on mine and could probably get a couple more.
I think they are 315/30-18

Yes. Great tire. I needed a bit taller tire and switched from the 315/30 to the 315/35. It will give me a bit more MPH on the big end.

Thats very interesting. I was not aware that they made a 315/35-18
Just another great example of what you learn on this forum.

What is the overall diameter of the 35?
