I do live in the city of pgh (Sq. Hill) 2 blocks from the 5.0 :ugh2: I have garbage good-years (205/70’s), that are enough to take on long trips etc etc, these things spin so hard in the lower gears it sux, cause I can literally sit still @ like 60-80mph no problem, hence why I am interested in these ET STREETS (maybe I should just say fark it and get the slicks, the issue is I already got 22X8 slicks - came with my kosei k-1 15X7 rims, so I am stuck with them for now, unless someone local wants to trade for 24.5X8 which I will want to buy eventually anyway) I don’t drive this car to work, only on weekends and to the track and just to hang around town. Yes, I’ll take it on a few trips DC,NY,NJ or whatever hence why I got these 205/70’s. Now, a 26 inch wheel will fit with ease on my FWD car. The reason I know is that my 205/70 are 26 inch tires already and I just dynoed @ Hybrid 388whp, so I am sure I have enough power for drag radials and slicks as I still have more octane and more boost to add to this thing. For reference my current tire and my 235/60 aspirations… Thanks for the discussion guys…seems like I am on the right path --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/buying-tires/190902)._
