And I've seen it into the 30's in July when the usual July temp's are high 70's to high 80's and Aug, into the 100's with a humidity factor so high you can't hardly breath. I'm guessing you are around the Houston area, Id seen a pic of your truck a while back and it was on what looked like a beach. BTW VERY nice looking truck, although I'm not a Mopar fan, I use to be though back in my late teens & early 20's when I liked to work on car's .

I chose the Voxx wheels that looked closest to my ST-8 Sterns, they are actually more like the ST-7 Sterns. I just wish the wheels would have been avaliable in 10" wide so I could have went with the 315 Hoosiers instead of the 275's. I think the 275's will hook up just fine, like Shawn said let us know how they do. It will be a while yet before my car come out of the garage, wind chill factors this morning here in Indiana are below 0 and calling for rain, sleet and snow for the rest of the week & weekend .

On a side note.................you can always have(any) rims widened for $150-250 each. Maybe if I don't get enough hook and I burn up the 275's I'll send the wheels out and have them widened to 10 1/2'' for some 315's.

I always drive around the water box, come to a stop and floor it until the tires hook(about 2-3 seconds) a little and let off.........then stage. The next open track day out here isn't until March 14th so it will be a while before I get to see the results with these tires.

I am going to the track on the 16th and competing in the street tire class at Import Face Off. I hope to have a couple other goodies installed by then, along with plenty of dry ice to drop in my intercooler system Shooting for 11.99 with no pulley or N20.

The P Zero Corsa System combines two of Pirelli's DOT-legal Competition tire designs that have been developed for the drivers of high-powered, super sports cars primarily for use at drivers' schools and lapping days conducted on race tracks. Also Original Equipment for the road versions of Ferrari 360 Challenge and Porsche GT3 cars, the P Zero Corsa System was designed to maximize a car's performance and satisfy even the most demanding driver in terms of dry handling and braking without abandoning wet performance and noise comfort. The P Zero Corsa System incorporates Pirelli's racing experience to enhance driving satisfaction at the limits.
P Zero Corsa System includes P Zero Corsa Direzionale tires for the front and P Zero Corsa Asimmetrico tires for the rear. The directional front tires penetrate the water surface, clearing a path for the rears, which complete water dispersal for increased driving control.
On the outside, the P Zero Corsa Direzionale tires mold Pirelli's innovative racing tread compound into a semi-slick, V-shaped directional tread design. On the inside, ultra-light, flexible belts reinforced by spirally wound nylon and a very stiff sidewall construction result in a wide footprint area to enhance dry grip while directional grooves increase hydroplaning resistance.
P Zero Corsa Asimmetrico's asymmetrical design features a semi-slick, low void ratio and a large external shoulder structure with a minimum number of grooves to eliminate the blocky structure of a conventional pattern. The P Zero Corsa System Asimmetrico's asymmetric and directional tread design requires separate "left" and "right" side tires for the vehicle as branded on each tire's sidewall. On the inside, the P Zero Corsa System Asimmetrico tires feature highly flexible steel belts reinforced by spirally wound nylon to enhance steering precision and provide high-speed capability while reducing weight.
NOTE: While it is recommended that P Zero Corsa Direzionale tires only be used on the front axle positions of mid- and rear-engine cars, P Zero Corsa System Asimmetrico tires can also be used on all of a vehicle's wheel positions, as well as can be combined in axle pairs with P Zero Corsa (non-System) tires on the other axle.
The P Zero Corsa System tires are molded with 6/32" of tread depth in their grooves and are left unshaved for use on damp tracks, or shaved to between 3/32" to 4/32" of tread depth for use on dry tracks.
Caution: The P Zero Corsa System tires are not recommended for high-speed driving on extremely wet roads with standing water where there is the risk of hydroplaning. This is especially true of shaved or worn tires. Drivers should drive cautiously at reduced speeds in these conditions.
