20's are easier because there are a number of sport truck tire options. I'm looking for wide 40 series 18's.

I like the look of
 

the directionals, but they have a tendency to have more trameling (sp) as they wear.

I would love to find some R compounds for the stock size C6 set up. The 285/19/35 and 245/18/40

Thank you all for the feedback!
 

Thank you all very much from Driverz, and from the tire company. They are reading and taking into account everything said on this thread to help with the development of their new tire. I can assure you, your voices are being heard. Keep the comments going...

Yes I agree and that is exactly why I bought mine.

I'd like to see a max effort tire in a 335/xx/18 size. The wear rating isn't a big concern.

Nitto makes a 335/30ZR18 Drag Radial in their 555R. Anyone run this tire, and what do you think? It's 26.06 tall. Are you all looking for taller?

Directional or not matters not a whit to me. There are three things that matter: Compound, Compound, Compound.

Ok, four things. Sizes. Provide 315 or so in 17" and more 40-series in wider sizes.

Yea i'd really like a 315 in a 40 series it'd be about 27 in tall if i'm not mistaken which is about what i have now. Ride would improve and as i said before, a big rim with no tire on it on a muscle car just looks funny to me.

I think more size options are the biggie, especially in the height(more sidewall) for the wider sizes. The wider you go, the more sidewall you lose, and I think that's what were interested in most is being able to get wide tires but still keep some sidewall. These old muscle cars need a little bit more sidewall than whats currently available(in the wide sizes), or they do look a little funny. Again, like someone else mentioned, not truck-like sidewalls, just a little more. Also, not that it's a huge deal, but if they could make them with the least amount of writing,letters,numbers blah blah blah on the sidewalls they would look much better! I know a lot of, if not all, is necessary but if they could cut down on some, that would be cool. As far as tread pattern, I like directional better, but to each his own. If the performance is there and it looks good, I don't think tread pattern is a deal breaker either way. Hey, thanks for asking!:thumbsup:

I run the Nitto 555R 305/45/18 and I'm very happy w/them. What I'd like to see are some 17" or 18" Raised white letter tires. I'd love to get some of the new 18" GM Billet SS rims(AKA Olds SSIs) and mount something like a BF Goodrich raised white letter tire 245/45/18s front and a 295/45/18 rear.

The raised white letter tires end at 15" and a few 16"

I like the old school look w/modern day performance (big brakes etc).

The first pictures I saw of the new GT40s had raised white letter tires on them and they were 18" and 19" ....I thought they looked great!
