so yea...wheelspin all thru 1st and 2nd gear makes for a cool show for your friends...but super slow times at the track.
so, with that in mind (and the aweful though of ripping thru a set of michelins @ 175$ea..) i went ahead and ordered these:  yup, BFG's  225/50/15  contact patch is a tiny bit over 9"  that alone should have a nice effect on traction, never mind the nice sticky compound.  a couple more of the tread pattern, and sidewall.   i figure if hyde can run 1.4 60ft. times with them, i should at least be able to improve traction somewhatlol if all goes as planned, i'll be seeing what the 5SFTE can do with TRACTION @ englishtown on the 18th ill be installing them on a set of stockers, and starting them @ ~20psi, lowering by a lb or 2 each run, till the 60's dont improve anymore. comments? sugesstions? discuss! -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)
