Looks like an interesting tire. It doesn't look like they have a 305 though.

305 would be extremely wide for a font tire, I would think. I am looking at these for front wheels. Not Rear. The Rear I put on a 345/35R18

Currently using RE-71R's on the fronts on a base model -- stock size. I chose to stay with the stock size as I was trying to minimize unsprung weight. Using very light Enkei RPF1 wheels and top-hat brake rotors, I removed over 10lbs from each front wheel. Handles great. Floats over bumps, doesn't get upset when cornering hard on rough roads. These tires have great grip without any need to warm them up. Like other soft rubber tires, these tend to toss rocks and gravel. I managed to remove almost 20 lbs from the rear wheel, which really got rid of a lot of the clunkyness from the rear. The RPF1 model wheel will not clear the brakes on the rear -- had to use an Enkei PF01 (slightly heavier). I got rid of over 7 lbs from the rear wheel assembly by replacing the heavy cast iron drive sprocket with an alloy one. Currently running a Mickey Thompson Sportsman tire on the rear, but will be switching it out to a wider Mickey Thompson DOT drag tire. Just can't get enough grip in the rear...

Nice! Glad to hear a good tire experience! I ordered for my 20" x 9" wheels a 245/35R20 so I hope to update in a week when they arrive.

Here is the MT ET street SS I just put on, very similar tread pattern, so I think it will look good.

Yeah @QuickSilverSS, I was just hoping I could replace all three on my SLR with these.

okay I see where you are going with that now.

Thanks. I'm looking forward to getting installed on my sling. I been waiting very very paitently for @Jeff@DDMWorks and @Dave@DDMWorks to finish my sling. I am kinda in the dark as to when it will be done. They were planning to call me today. But I am still waiting for the update seeing how this past weekends date changed.

thanks! Look forward to update the end of the week

I am still loving these tires for the front!!! They are doing great for me.
