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 ![]() ![]() 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 ;)

a quick update:
got them mounted on the stock rims yesterday. my 17" enkies + michelin pilot sport a/s 225/45's weigh 41lbs. stock 15" rims and BFG DR's 225/50's weigh 39lbs. i put them on, and with 30lbs of pressure in them, did a nice burnout and a few launches.. i had the camara with me, but i forgot to put the memory card in!! needless to say, i cant launch @ 2000 rpm and expect to spin on these tires like the old falkens...lmao...i just bogged down. lmao...3000rpm was a little better, a little wheelspin, but not nearly as much as before, and thats with 30lbs in them! (bf goodrich recommends 14-20lbs for racing.) initial impressions are VERY good, to say the least. i cant wait to see how they are on the track! ![]() -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)
