A 375-20-20 on a 20 x 14.5 HRE is exactly what I need.

I just got back tonight and will post a pic of the Viper they were on tommorow 21x14 zone wheels. I'm talking to Kumho next week about hopefully bringing out that size in 20"s as well. (or at least 365/20/20)

I thought you were joking the first time around. I think you should know what I am about to say next.

OK OK I'll pm you the contact info. for the new tire developer Gary I'll be talking to him this week on doing this size in a 20 as well. I'm working with Vincent @ I forged on creating a SIX in lip for a 21x14 to accommodate these new tiresoo:



check out how narrow the 345/25/20 Pirelli is in comparison:bawling:

While they look pretty wide, take out all those gaps and close the tread together and you got about a 255 size slick! I'm sure for enough money they could make a 20 or 21 with a stickier compound more like a thier Kumho 710's but in a 20. Those tires do not look like they would hook any better than what's out now.

You are right it's just their standard compound and from my experience less traction (size for size than the Rossos from Pirelli)
Thats one of my topics to discussion with Frank (since most of us are making 600rwhp to 1500rwhp)

Shit-- only thing that I would assume won't make production is the lettering of ecsta in the tread-- no need for it. All it does is slightly reduce traction. But if they made that in an R compound with a 700 style tread!!! oo: oo: Guys would be poppin the front tires off the ground!
