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!

Those should do you good. I'd be interested to see how you do.....may come up to E-Town for that on the 18th.

I'm thinking about a set of Mickey Thompson E.T. Street Radials for ours, same size. I'm just wary of breaking something in the stock 5S Tranny.

yea, thats a good idea man.
between you with the MT's me with the BFG's and jeff with the hoosiers, we'll have a good idea of what works on our cars.
i wouldnt worry about the tranny...the one thing i AM worried about is axles.
if all goes as planned, ill be bringing a set of axles with me as a "just in case" thing. lmao.
zipper, hope you can make it man!
