Tires for Loki kit

[Superman112]

m3incorp,

Don't know yet, I parked it in my shop since the first drive was to check for any rubbing and an initial baseline on how they hook.

I'll update soon.

Eagerly waiting

Buddy brought his 13 GT with Roush S2 blower up here last weekend to OSW and made some hits in the HEAT. He went 1.52 60' which was only a hundredth off his best ever 60' in much better conditions on the M/T tire, and this was done on the new 555RII. Rather impressive.

Just took my first spin with the R2's. I told the tire shop start with 32 psi and I'll adjust it from there.

Tires are not scuffed in yet, but I did hit in drag mode from about 25 mph and tires spun really bad.

Checked the tire pressure when I got back in my shop, one had 47 psi and the other was at 37. Good grief!

What psi are others running on the street? Have mine set at 30 right now.

The 305's on the back just look absolutely killer.

Most DR's will hook best on street asphalt with 22-24psi (Cold)..... At warm tire surface temperature cruising of around 90-105° and 26psi warmed up, they WILL hook......

Go try it.... It will blow your mind the difference in grip going from 31-33psi down to 23-24psi.......

About 50 degrees out, dropped the pressure to 30 psi. Took a short drive to get a little heat in the tires.

Did a WOT from 45 mph and had just a tiny bit of wheelspin, but it mostly hooked. Hallelujah. Did another WOT from 45 to take advantage of a warm tire and it hooked.

Felt kinda' like being shot out of cannon from 45 mph with my Stage II Procharger at full boil. It's been wheel spin city with my Indy 500's from 50 mph or lower after the Pro-C install.

With a little lower tire pressure and an 80+ degree day, I think these 55R2's may hook from 20 mph, which would be amazing.

We'll see.

Excellent. Telling ya it'd hard to beat these tires for a streetable DR!

Well I went with the R2s 305/35/19s on 19x10 rim. Also ordered the BMR lockout kit as well. Also the Loki kit should be shipped by next week.

Anyone ran the r2s in a 305/45r17 on the jms 17x10 wheels? Do they hold up on the street or is it more of a strip only set up?
