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 ;)

Glad to hear you like them!
Guess you will have to get used to driving your car all over again. Can't wait to see what they will do at the track! -------------------- |
