yeah i want 4.10's but the new Big Bore 2.1L KB is headin my way @ graduation! and idk what gears to go with. i know you have mad traction problems with your 3.73's and KB. is that because of the 245 tires? or just to much tq?

ill be running 285's at the least, probably 295's on my next set of tires.
go with 4.30's

WAYYYYYYY too much gear for a blower.
agreed especially a KB i have 3.73's and there is no traction from a dead stop till 3rd gear

lol yeah i was thinking the same thing. i may just wait to get my SC and see how i like it then decide what gears would benefit me the most. right now though i need tires.. Im thinking about getting the Kumho MX series tires.. they are pretty cheap (216 i think for 295's on tirerack.com). anybody else know a good tire for very very cheap? 285 at the least and an 18 inch tire. sidewall should be 40 or 35

Here are some nittos trey nitto 555's 285/40ZR-18 for 197 apiece. I got my bfg kdw's from them and they were great! I actually ordered nittos but they called and said they were backordered but would sell me the kdw's and take $20 off each.

i got my kdw's (not the newer tread design) for 144 in 255/45/17. They are cheaper on there site now of course. My next set will be a wider tire in the rear with a 245-255 up front.
