Saftey Issue: Do i need DRs
Hey guys. I am picking up my car from the shop thats doing the H/C package in my sig on friday and don't know whether or not i should get DRs. I had a set of nitto DRs on the car, but after the first pair wore out I got tired of buying tires and just put some decent all weather shoes on it. However, with an extra 100 rwhp (car should dyno around 440 rwhp) and lots of low end torque I am worried that the current tires will break loose around corners and during just regular every day driving. I would prefer to keep these tires, but not at the expense of saftey.

You should be fine as long as you don't get on it in the corners. Just drive normally/conservatively and you'll be ok. But if you do get on it, you'll need a stickier tire to get that power to the ground. I had Nitto NT555 ZR's on my '94 Z and had no problem hooking and never lost it around a turn
