I agree with the above post...plus you still will see at least 15,000 miles out of them. I have 275/40/17 Nitto drags on my stock 17x8 wheels...they wouldn't hold in first, but they would dig in from second and above.
I also have 295/35/18's on my Cobra R's....awesome looking tire, and sticks like a mofo. I can still break them lose in 1st, but they sure try to hold, then in second....I'm gone. Only bad thing is I'll be lucky to see 1 year out of them and they cost $500 for the set out the door, installed.
