The corvette has 638hp(and it's the little dog now!), the viper will have 640hp, and the new mustang will have 650hp!! and to top that off they give DOT approval to this tire---what a great world we live in!!
This tire will dominate 275/class tires all over the south!!
Dot approved or not if they want to break your balls they will. It's at their discretion. Driving around on slicks has never been a problem for me though.
