i wanted top get the big/little look but all i could fit on my 6" rims was
235's. i would like to get 275 60's in the rear. as i am set up now with a
sure slip rear, i lay a single 120' line down the pavement. i used to like
this when i had other cars, but now that it is easy to burn rubber it turns
into a PITA(pain in the ass).
i would like to exchange my sure slip for a sure grip but i am not sure
what it costs. i've heard it is only $200 but i can't find it.
