Ok sounds to me the logical thing to do here is have two sets of rims and tires. One with F-1's, and one with the 555R's. This is my only ride, and winter is coming in NY. One way or another I have to drive in it. Did it last year in a 96 Cobra Convertible. There were three days I got stuck and couldn't make it home because of this tiny winy hill off the main Hwy that leads into my neighborhood. I guess 300 - 500 lbs in the back is gonna be my ticket home this year.

Hey anyone selling a set of those tires on stock L rims ???

i have been running the DR's for my stock rear tire, no problems, and they work awesome in the rain,

as far as the author of the thread saying they suck for traction, i have raced on many tires, and the f1's hook better than any tire i've ever seen,

i cut consitent 1.87's on them

my best on dr's is 1.75 and slicks 1.72,

this is on the stock stall

there are many guys getting low 1.8's on the f1's, i don't see getting much better except by dr or slick
