If I can't get traction with THESE..., The Quest for more Traction is on! Options

[presure2]

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!

dang... those look sweet. how much do they cost per tire in that size?

you should spray the stockers black to kinda match your other wheels. + they are kind of crappy and chipping anyway....then again, im sure you could care less

spray painting stock wheels just makes you look like your hubcaps fell off. i never liked that look.

Looks nice Manny. I will be looking forward to a full report on the traction improvement.
