I'll let you know as soon as I take it down there - I got them(the tires) about 6 months ago with the intention of going to Ennis on fast fridays and what-not with my wife and my daughter, I guess I kind of underestimated how much my life would change when she was born heh.

I wouldn't launch it above 2500 RPM. DRs aren't the easiest tires on a manual, and they will put a lot more stress on the driveline than if you were auto. And being a 19" DR just takes away that much more flex of the sidewall.

Worst case scenario?? I don't mind breaking things, as I enjoy upgrading stock components, but I don't want to blow up my trans. or something stupid expensive.
