From my understanding run flat tires are pretty stiff.

Same problem with my Goodyear GSC EMT's. Anything below 40 mph forget it (smoke). My next set will be some Nitto's heard good things about them.

Are you wanting a street tire? Drag radials would help a lot...

Auto or manual? What's your pinion angle? Lower control arm angle ? LCA relo brackets ? Car lowered?

Just slapped on a new set of MT Street Radials.

I wouldn't recommend them for a DD. As they're soft and sticky=Ain't gonna last long.

But the hook is ridiculous. I've yet to kick her out of a dig, but she would break the old set loose at 50... and these had yet to break much at all from a roll.

Put a tire on it... how do you expect to hook 1200 ft lbs of tq on street tires.

Nittos 555r's are sticky on the street and you wont die in the rain

Very true
Mine on the LS are BALD and still work great in the rain and hook good from a dig.
