Check out these tires

[Lucid]

I ordered in spares for the Dodge. I keep doing a double take on how wide these are. The Left is a front 18" 275x35 and rear 19 345x30. It's like cartoonish freakishly wide. These are just the PS2 stocks, I'd love to have the ACR Sport Cups on with a 80 treadwear (these are 220) cause they grip like mad, but the weather here would render them unusable in the rain. The biggest issue with these is that most places the tire changers can't handle the width. I don't think any production car is 345mm wide, the lamborghini murcielago comes close at 335mm rears.

Holy Bull$%^T Batman!!!

I have a friend with a Diablo and he took the car 3 hours north to South Bend because the Tire Rack was one of the only places in the state that had the equipment to put tires on rims that were that big

Have fun!!!!!!!! They look awesome!!!!!

OH, and I love that you call it the "Dodge"

Yeah it's tough to get tires changed "locally" maybe at the Dodge dealers but a lot them are closing. It's best to get a viper tech to do it. I have a car trailer to tow it. Some guys are saying they get 11k miles+ out of them, I dunno, I'm still under 2k.It's best to have them on hand,on rims ,because no place (other than ordering) has them in stock.

A guy (Ralph) I know hooked me up with a guy in jersey. He'd know, he designed the ACR, 300, and Ram. Just made VP last year at Chrysler. Here he is with is daughter. She was running around memorial day with the nurinburgring time of 7:22 asking if people knew what that number meant.

Also Dodge Viper and Corvette ZR-1. 345, you could pack down asphalt with those.

OK, I just caught on that the "Dodge" IS a Viper. So, you upsized one size. I never actually had my Viper for enough miles to run through a set of tires, so I never had a chance to upsize.

what year viper do u have? I got a gen 4 08. Got it as a leftover.
The 08/09 are a big improvement over the gen 3. Previously I've only known the gen 2.

The brakes on vipers used to be horrible now these brembros with dual on the rear grip better than any car I've driven.

I've been a fan of the vette but never driven the zr1 what size tires are they running?

I had one of the early Vipers .............. a '94. It ran 335's as does the new ZR-1.
I thought I remember the Ferrari F50 ran 345's.
