^This.
You have to love drag radials. Look at this tire squat on the track on the launch.
That tire sat normally round/inflated moments before.

I was able to put 16" drag radials on the SLK32 AMG. 16s should fit on the rear of the Crossfires too, right? I run 255/50/16 Micket Thompson ET Street Radials on the drag strip.
