Supercar Tire Pics

What is the aspect ratio of the 315mm wide tires? Are you running these all the way around, or just in the rear? Do you know the overall diameter off-hand?
Thanks.

whitelightnin',
I don't see a drastic change in handling. BABolt doesn't see any traction gains, however I have put on a few hundred miles with these tires and I honestly feel better traction - don't know about launching but with cornering and changing lanes at high speeds.
Wes,
The tire size is 315/40. I believe that equates to 28.1" overall diameter? I am running the stock tires up front, which I believe are 28.4." You can't notice the difference in size just by normal eyesight. I do have to grease up the front tires a little more just so they look as new as the back ones.

Hi Mike,
Glad to here that you get to drive around on yours. I will have to wait a few more months. In regards to traction I only addressed the launch issue on the road and at the drags. As you are aware of now these are a light weight carcass tire and with 470 ft lbs. of torque, I really can light them up at nothing more then just an idle. I have to be careful when I backed out of the driveway and shift into drive. I was doing mini burnouts.
