Try and get ur hands on some 255/50/ 16" M/T's. these are about the only tyre which will allow you to retain stock prem rear brakes and change ur ratio..

IMO, dropping tyre pressure is a wates of time on street tyres. The extra grip ( if any ) is not of benefit proportional to the extra rolling resistance created later down the track..

As soon as you get extra power with stock gearing, you'll need to change into 5th, which will rob you of a few 1/10ths.

As it is, my 115/116mph runs have me way over optimum revs before hitting the tape, she's out of puff and really wanting a gear change. I need to drop my gearing to go much quicker..

2c anyway..
Fair call about picking 5th.How much are the 255/50/16 M/T's?
what pressure dpow you run them at?
