Huh, I see it fine. It's a google pic. Oh well. Some places they work fine. I used to use photobucket, lol!
What is the speed rating on those tires? Pretty much zero chance that it will ever pull the tires off the ground. Not happening.

Don't know the speed rating. I'd have to look it up or you can
yeah, I don't think it's going to do any wheelies either. But it does lift much more than the '14 like I said and you can feel it unlike the '14
as for the pics, just save to desktop, upload them as an attachment then chuck the pic if you don't want to keep it. I find it's easier that way.

Yeah......I see those being a bit loose on a wet road.
The M/T ST Radials would be a good choice for when you're ready to replace those.
Good traction, good on wet roads, not prohibitively expensive, look good and proven tires from a quality manufacturer.
There's other M/T's you may want to look at but from experience the ST's are a safe bet for all around street/strip/play around use. LOADS of folks who do the "weekend warrior/street driven" thing run Mickey Thompsons because of the quality and performance. They can't be wrong if there's an assload of them happy with the results!

Just took a close look at the size.
OY........that limits the choices to some kinda costly models.
The Z after the sidewall size of 30 is your speed rating. It's rated for in excess of 149 MPH.
Here's the Mickey Thompson offering. A bit better wet performance tread than what you have but not as good as the ST model. Due to the size you need the trade off is the tread pattern. Slight sidewall difference 35 vs 30, but that's negligible.

If a slightly narrower tire is ok with you (285 x 35 vs 305 x 30 which will equal about 1/2 inch width) then your tread pattern gets much better.

I am liking the wider tires very much. Definitely can feel the difference in those what? 11" rears compared to the other car.
