Pics with the new tires would be nice! My Generals are close to getting spun down to the radials as well.

I have some 285/60/17 and they hook great. I am able to launch under nitrous and not have any spin. And they like the twisties too. Some great working tires. The only complaint is I had TWO of them blow out at 80 on interstate 5

So I think my next tires are going to be Yokohama's.

I had a set of Toyos on some 17 inch avalanche wheels too.. I loved them... they are kind of soft so you have to be careful about playing too much... the go away fast!!!

I am about to get another set of them soon... my goodyear eagle F-1's are done...
