Who cares what brand of tire you have as long as they are sticky and at least Z-rated.  My "Kum Ho's" and my Falkens were only $400 mounted/balanced because I know the guy that owns the tire place.  Three of my friends have "Kum Ho's" and two of them have foxbody mustangs that run 13's on them, and my other friend has them on his Turbocoupe.  

Plus I don't believe your tires are Z-rated.  If you have the Charger Directional ZR they are actually W-rated, which is better :)

Hey man that would be false advertising if the tire was w rated and it said ZR rated right on the tire! nobody is going to believe in your rice fantasies.
Maybe you should go with a Z-tech honda motor in your Grand Prix as well. (just playin)

O yea, and those Fox-bodied Stangs are going to need every advantage they can get or they too will get flogged by a TGP.

Dont worry Josh, there is always next time. Unless EVERYONE buys cheaply made foriegn clones of American technology and Kelly can no longer compete.

Like you said, w-rated is better(sustained speeds up to 168 mph) than z-rated(over 149 mph) so thanks for setting me straight.
