The summer I ran some sticky 245/50-15s on the front is the summer I ran at 5.5. Man that was a fun summer! But expensive too.I put new 295s on the back at the same time. Those sticky fronts needed a new alignment, and I had a hard time finding a sweetspot that wouldn't burn them up or that they wouldn't follow every little irregularity on the road. I would tell you I had it on the rack 29 times but you might think me crazy.I did eventually find it, but not long after that, the tires were done. I don't think they made 2 months. The concrete roads were very hard on them,lol,but they sure were fun.
I was working at a tire shop doing alignments, so had free access to the rack, and got my tires at cost. That was a busy summer as to working on the S. And expensive;3 sets of new tires.The new 295s, and the sticky 245s and then regular 235s.Plus the custom 8"rims for the 245s.......Good thing the kids were all grow'd up and gone.lol.
Yeah, that was a fun summer
