I like them too, and they were $240 each (including shipping) at Discounttiredirect.com. Seen several people say they got them cheaper though...

They look beefy on the rear wheels, which is weird because the 275 width ones I used on my Mustangs always looked thinner than the normal 275s they replaced. The 305s are noticeably wider than the F1s.

As for ride... can't feel a difference, either in the rain or around corners. Ride very nicely, and make hard launches much more fun. I can still smoke them by a quick matting of the pedal, but don't... too damn expensive. A good smooth pedal will bring it out of the hole hard.

I am running the 305/45/18 Nitto Drag radials on the street as well and they are hands down better than the F1's. They hook up extremely well for a street tire. You can air them down to 22#'s and do a quick burn out and they hook like crazy on the street.

Thanks,
What they all said about 250 each. As for performance. I have not tried heating them up yet, but they hook real good, can still smoke em though But way better than the F1's.

Ride is unchanged imo.
