Anyone have suggestions on good DRs? I have been going back and forth on whether I should wrap my 20X11s in the rear with DRs or get a spare set wrapped in the DRs just for when I go to the strip.

Apparently Mickey is coming out with a set of really hot DR's that are designed for the newer generation of cars. Offering nearly full slick performance while maintaining road legality.

Really? do you know sizes yet? I had looked at mickeys but I don't think they made one big enough for a 20X11 - 20/35/315.

No I don't have that info yet, sorry. A friend of mine went to SEMA this year and told me but we didn't get to talk much about it before he left on another trip.

Ahh Gotcha, yeah I was thinking about Nitto NT05R or the 555R if I decide not to get a spare set of rears.

NT05's.

The 555's are barely even good for a street tire, and will not hold 600 WHP

That is what I have heard too, just considered them so I could hopefully get 10K miles out of them...but this car is about to not be my DD anymore so I suppose I should just up for the 05's

Otherwise it's an okay drive.
Lol seems like it would smell funny as well.

It does, it really does. There are areas of Interstate 5 in California where you just roll your windows up and run the AC, no matter what.

I can think of more pleasant smells to have in the car on a road trip.
