So am I!

What tires did you say (if you did) you went with? Those are pretty badass.

Hankook Ventus RH06. They are technically a high performance Truck/SUV tire but some of the LX guys run them with good success. I wanted an all season tire that was a little wider and wasn't $250 a tire. These are exactly what I wanted at $150 each and 30mm wider than stock. I'll buy another pair here in a few months for the front.

So far the grip a hell of a lot better than the stock goodyears. I am interested in seeing how they do in the rain. The stock tire were like driving on ice.

Not bad. Where did you buy from? I ordered mine from a shop in Dallas...they are only Nankang but I was stuck with that if I wanted to match the two good ones. I got two Nankang N990s in 305/45R22 for $360 to my door.

I got them from eBay seller tires-easy. I was going to buy them from Discount Tire Direct ($8 more) but they were back ordered. $360 isn't bad for wide 22's.

I thought it was pretty good too...I just hope they last. The nice thing is that 22s are becoming more mainline so the prices are dropping.

As much as I can...I'll admit, the 3.55 open rear sucks ass so I guess I'll just film from the passenger side.

What's funny, my Charger has an open differential... Didn't know that until a few months after I bought it. I guess with the excessive power to the wheels and ability to COMPLETELY disable traction control, it can still smoke them both.

Not sure Matt, why?


Now that you mention that Morgan I believe there's a fuse or something we can pull on the trucks to completely disable traction control...that would probably help a lot.
