tires
It seems like a OK combo I guess, but the taller the tire the more lean you get in cornering and less speed, I only have a 2 wheel drive so I don't need 4X4 tires, actually I should say I like to haul @#%, so I have 275/60/15 on 10" rims in the rear and right now 23/75/15 on 8" rims on the front, but those tires are way, way too tall, eventually will change to 16" or 17" rims with Z rated tires for competition on 10" rims on the back and 8" on the front.

hey robin, daryll (bigt daddy) is selling his 16" torque thrusts for a hell of a good deal. sure would look sharp on your truck, and probably help a considerable amount in your cornering ability. wait..... did i just use the term corning ability to describe a sweptline???? man, i need to check and make sure these are regular smokes i got here LMAO!!!!

They will be going on the challenger... but since I have no front suspension at the moment, and the tires on the Jeep are due for replacement, I had to go ghetto and put them on the Jeep (which I personally think is a sin, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do). The tires are a little too tall for the car, so I'm thinking I'll get some 235/40-50 ish to run on the car a while down the road. I think the white wagon wheels go better on my truck than shiny aluminum wheels would... but I'm a little different
Thanks, Clint
