So back on topic. I got some questions about tires. So far I've found a few that will fit my 16x7 rims.

1. 245/50/16 nitto ntt55r price $600-$650
2. 255/50/16 toyo TQ $600-$650 (might rub)
3. 225/50/16 hankook rs-3 $500
4. 225/50/16 Dunlop dz101 direzza 101 $450

What sucks is the trend is going to 17" for drag radials. So with that said for $200-$250 I can get into some Hoosier QTP's in a 225/50/16. Problem is not sure if we can run them in SA or SA/U class. So if anyone has chime in and let me know.

Trying to take into consideration weight. All above tire minus the QTP's have a weight between 24-27 lbs and the QTP's come in at 21or 22 lbs.

Another option is a good performing summer tire. In a 225/16/50. Ive looked at continental contipro extreme's and they weigh 21lbs.

So not sure what to do but obviously need to make a decision. So any input would be great or ad a tire I might have missed and ill look into it.

Picking up a mishimoto radiator w/ slim fans tomorrow, and working with Kevin from delta cams to see if HKS 280's or kelford 272's are good for me since I can't degree them as I want to run stock cam gears.

Ill be home all weekend doing stuff to the car as wife doesn't want me far from home since the daughter has surgery this morning.

Plans for the weekend are get the carpet dyed black, put interior together, clean up engine bay and start tucking some stuff. Need to delete the cruise cable box. Get all my gauges installed, clean up wheel wells (dirty), paint calipers, throw away rusted rotors.
