Lookin' good. I guess they are a little smaller than stock? I think I'd rather have a little larger than stock.
Did the radiator cap mod: SRT8 is here....

Bet you will like em! I drove a set of those babys 40,000 hard miles and they stuck like freakin glue. You won't believe the wet traction! I replaced with the Comfortreads. I miss my BFG's, waaa The reviews in the tire rack are a bit skewed because these babys work great on a heavy car with lots of power, the comfortreads are more for the put put down to the 7-11 crowd.

I had the Comfortreds and loved them. Road great, just didn't hook at the track enough. The Goodyear RSAs on my SRT8 are good so far, but I haven't had them out in bad rain or snow yet. In due time....

They're just about dead-on as far as size. Originally Posted by quarky42

And where did that handy chart come from? is there more? like 20's and 22's? I'm guessing it's probably here somewhere and I just haven't found it yet. Originally Posted by 67alecto

He he. Your exempt from that comment, however I am envious of your new SRT8. Life is good for you! BFG's do have outstanding traction, however especially in the wet. If they make a replacement for your car, I think you would like them. My friend with a Jeep SRT8 hated his RSA's. Be careful in the rain. Originally Posted by BrilliantBlackHemi

Those are the same ones that I swtched on my both C's a couple of weeks ago. They stick and specially this time of the year here with a lot of rain. Originally Posted by 67alecto

Those figures are a tad misleading. The actual diameter changes a small bit based on the manufacturer. This is one of the reasons why I started the following thread on tires to list the actual differences:
RT Tire Choices
Given the specs by the manufacturers, the BFG tire (28.5" dia) is .5" taller than the Conti (28" dia).
That being said, I am considering this tire and want to hear about your experiences.Magnum Club Member #1053

Sweet. I'd rather have it a little taller than a little smaller if I have to go one direction or the other!
67Alecto, Thanks for the chart and info! I think I may just go with these shoes after I finish tearing up the Contis.Did the radiator cap mod: SRT8 is here....

I'm surprised that no one is getting the 'aggresive' tread pattern, like these:
