I like to do the research. It's fun.
I also like to help out as much as possible. That's fun also.
I couldn't find anything in a V for you. I don't think they can manufacture a V rated tire in a 70 tire wall. It's just too tall.
But the HR is good to. Rated at 129+ and pretty sticky.
I think those Duelers are nice looking and meaty also.
Let me know if you decide to get them.
I bought mine from TireRack and they delivered them in 3 days. Shipping was 83.00 but even after the paying FireStone 60.00 for the install, they still came out almost a 100.00 cheaper than if I would have gotten mine directly from a dealer such as TireKingdom.

I hear ya about the buying the cheaper one. My question wasnt buying a knock-off differential, but actually the less HP differential by the same company. Tom is happy with his LSD, which with NOS, is WAY higher RWHP. So in my ever so popular man-logic, I thought, Well, if Tom can handle all that, and has the 28 spline auburn hi-perf. series LSD, then what exactly would I need the pro series? I mainly don't think after the supercharger, any more money will be put into it, for power. Strereo is a different story. Think about it, after the SC, what more can relly be done, aside from NOS? Im not a hardcore dragster, because there isnt one anywhere near by. I understand there is always, gears, fans, rockers, pulleys....but will I want to sacrifice mileage for HP at that point? I doubt it. Whats the fun in getting 8 mpg when Im driving to see my girlfriend an hour away? (I took pics of her, will be posted soon) You guys know what I mean now? Why drop an extra 100 dollars on the upgrade, when you wont need to meet its potential, because the normal product meets and exceeds your needs?

Garrett,
Concentrate on that S/C. I don't think you'll need any other motor mods after that.
After the S/C you'll only need be concerned with traction and handling.
HP series LSD will suffice. Good set of sticky stuff to go with it. And high quality shocks to keep everything on the ground.
Other than that? Yell WOOPIE and have fun.
Jimmy,
I got the Kumho Ecsta V rated. My tire size is different. P275/60/17. You can get V's in that size.
The Kumho's were on sale for 89.00 + 83.00 shipping and 60 for install, so 499.00 total.
