These tires have a 9.5" contact pad, which is HUGE for a 225, meaning their traction ability is equal to that of a 245 or larger....if any of you guys are running stock rims and need more traction until you can afford those pimp rims, check these tires out!!

LoL, you would have come the closest. My tires were SHOT from drifting a little too often so i had to replace them since we are entering our rainy season. IM STILL getting better rims, and i am set on some TT rims that i will powdercoat a gunmetal color. That will take time so i need tires for a while.

I did alot of research on this actually, there are a few very large tire warehouses around here, that i had some poor souls actually take a tape measure to the warehouse and report back with the widest 225 usable treadwidth they could find......ended up with about 80+ tires measured for me to look over and choose. I chose the Kuhmo....cheap....wonderful quality....high speed rating....high tread rating (600). So i can abuse them and not take a shot to the pocket book!
