Default TIRES THAT DONT"HOOK FOR A AWD CAR

What are some low profile tires that dont hook for **** for you guys? I have BFG KA dry only tires and there almost like a DR. They have a really soft compound, ive gone throw alot of axels. They handle awsome and its the best street tire ive ever own.

But im look for a tire for when I drag race that spins more and wont hook like these, I can still light up 1st gear with them. I had old pep boy brand tires some all seasons that would spin from 1st very bad, and then spin in some of secound.

Im looking for somthing like that but just in low profiles any would be would great guys thanks...

Why would you want to spin more and not be moving while your opponent has hooked and taking off? I had some low profile Toyo proxes on some 17" wheel a long time ago and those tires couldn't hook for crap.

I think the reason being is he has broke some axels before, I recomment the Sumitomo's they hook pretty decent but still spin a bit once you put a few miles on them and the thread wears down they dont hook worth a ****, oh they dont hook worth a **** in the winter either but for 90 bucks you get what you paid for

Well if it was for money, or a real race I would stick with my sticky tires. For messing around on the street stop light stuff I wouldnt want to break things for the fun of it.

my KDs are awsome tires, best ive own but I need somthing for playing around with alot more give...

Go ahead and you try it with your witty comments, im talking about AWD.

If you didnt look at the tittle of the thread it clearly says AWD TIRES THAT DONT HOOK>

I did have those cheap tires befor but they werent low profile, Summoto I was thinking would be good.

Anyone else like to share without a dumbass comment, and help me out here.


PS. I did upgrade my rear end in my DSM, I have stronger axels now so the only thing left is going to be the trans and thats not fun..
