Since I tend to be more function then form, I'm gonna say the TRs. Cheaper tires to go abuse and lighter, plus it's not like they look bad. I will agree the OZs look better but that is not my first requirment when looking for parts.

 

+100

 

Not to mention the savings and extra variety available on 17 vs 18.

 

 

The question remains. Will the racer or the ricer prevail?
