Default Tires for the SRT

I have decided this winter I will be getting my rims plated or replaced with chrome replias. Once I remove the Pirellis off the rims they are not going back on! They are horrible and I am not the only SRT owner that has that complaint.

With that said I will be in the market for tires and will be buying from the Rack. The Pirellis are a W speed rating. They also do grip well and corner well, they just ride for crap.

I am considering the Kuhmo, the speed rating is a V, but it is not like I can drive 150+ on the streets of Ohio or Michigan, nor can the truck get up that fast in a 1/4, so the speed rating it not a big deal to me. What I am concerned about is the grip and the cornering ability vs my Pirellis.

How would they stack up to the pricey BFGs?

Oh, and I do not drive the truck in the rain or snow. It will also be supercharged in about 12 months, figure 625-650 RWHP. When I do order should I contact you? What, about a 50% DF discount?

The Kumhos are in a similar class as the Pirelli, although the Pirelli will grip and handle a little better. The BFG's, being 3 season tires with no concession for snow traction, will have superior grip and handling.
