Default TIRESHAKE! (vid inside) How to avoid it?

Looking for ways to put more power to this tire! @ 860 whp, mild boost. Tried to turn it up, and this happened! Feels like a bomb went off in the car. Yes, it does it on the street too


So, what will help?

Suggestions.

Wider wheel-not sure what I can fit.

Lower tire pressure. This was at 20psi in the tire. Try lower?

Higher tire pressure. More stable tire???

Lower the boost. Not a chance in hell!


Suggestions appreciated

Well have you tried anything?
How old are the tires? Could be defective or just old with weak sidewalls.
Have you tried higher pressure? Thats the first thing I would do as it looks like the side wall is just flexing really bad.

Pretty new, Pressure at 20psi.

In speaking with the guy that made these tires at MT, he things the narrow width is the main issue, but said big power guys can see the "wobble" as they call it if they hit the tire too hard.

Will report back when I get it on a different wheel,
