For my high HP cars, I always use 325/50/15 Mickey Thompson ET Street II Drag Radials except for the Old Man Tan which has 295/55/16 for Summer Tires. In fact , I would try to fit 345s on Red Mamba One once I get wheels with the right offset to accommodate that size.

For Winter or Rainy days got the 28x12.00R15 (basically 305s) Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/R series

And caution for all -> Playing with Speed on wet roads is an easy way to getting somebody hurt . "Not because your car has the power , it doesn't mean you will have to use that power every time. Having a high hp car comes with it the responsibility of knowing how to drive responsibly."

Thank you Rey ... long time no hear. Ready to grab a running 2jzgte SC ? Find me a good white Lexus SC430 so I can do a 2jzgte swap and I will give you one of my 2jzgte SC .

Impressive fuel setup, but more importantly can you still fit a set of golf clubs back there =) #priorities

I can still fit 2 or 3 putters in there ....so I can play putt putt with my grand kids at the Pirates Cove .. haha

Musta pare !

Rey had been eyeing one of my SCs since he parted his project . I think I want to go ahead with a 2jzGTE SC430 . That will give me a convertible 2jzgte car....not really a speed car . Just something nice to cruise around top down.

Definitely not the Black Pearl or Old Man Tan . I don't see those going anywhere for a long time since they are the ones that belong to the +1000rwhp club.

So either of the two Red Mamba depending on the SC430 trade. Rey had been eyeing Red Mamba Two for a while now. Actually I have been looking at the SC430s .. .you can get one for $8k now . All I need is a really good condition southern shell with really good interior and no mechanical defects.

Hahaha so tempting man... ^ RM2 for sure if I can afford it, and those white SC430 are hard to come by for a good price.. What year? Hahah!

Man ... I don't care about the year as long as it has a good body , interior and mechanically in good shape. I don't want to do any work on that aspect. All I want to do is drop in a stock VVTi 2jzgte V160 6 speed so I have something to cruise around top down but still a 2jzgte.

Right now there is a 2002 silver one at our local craigs for $6000... I wish it was white and I would have snatched it . It is high mileage . I really don't care since I am doing a swap. You know Red Mamba Two now has the AC poly-urethane kit . I will definitely give up one 2jzgte SC to get an SC430 so my 2jzgte SCs collection can be completed.

same old same..doing great, pare. Salamat!

ahh okay. yeah i've always entertained the idea of an SC430..more than a GTE swapped GS..maybe if/when I get bigger house.

I do miss cruising with the top down ever since I get rid of my S2000 more than a decade ago from now. Kudos to you for diversifying..maybe next would be your GTE boat..lol =)

I hope Rey will get RM2!
