Well, I actually did need a new tranny, mine was obliterated. I tore up the input shaft, mainshaft, and the cluster packs.

I wouldnt advise 315s on a 10bolt or a 9.5" rim, I think 295 is about the largest i would go. I have 285s on my rims....but I think Pat#1 had 315s on these rims before i got them...I dunno just wait and see...or snap away! lol

everybody around here has 315's on drag radials... the rubber of choise is nittos.. they hook great, and are good for DD... i have 315's and i still dont get good traction.. but my tires are sumitomoes (sp?) at the moment... but half my friends are running 315's dr's on a stock 10 bolt.. the other half are on 12 bolts but they also are pushing over 500 hp to the wheels...

o and i could be wrong. .but i dont think 335's would fit.. i have rubbing problems with 315's on a 17x11 wheel.. so i think it would be even worse with the 335

Pretty much as I said...

Tread life... Nitto>BFG>MT

Grip... MT>BFG>Nitto

Rain... Nitto>BFG>MT

Nitto will be the best DD tire, followed up by the BFG's and then the MT's I wouldn't even suggest for DD.

MT's bro is the only way to go!!! 275/60/R15 is what I just ordered from summit (all my friend who run them love 'em to death) my buddie ran nittos and said he just wasnt happy with them and his MT's are better (again this is only his opinion and mine)

I had have the 3, I now have Nittos and is nice for a daily drive (like mine) but need more traction, MTs are the best for drag racing, but the worst for street use, and BFG is betwen.

I had 315/35/17 on 17x9.5, but now have 17x11 and look much better. I wont put 315s on a 9 or 9.5 rim again.
