Default will tubes help my 60'

I have 26x11.5 16s on a 3400lb six speed with 540 rwtq.
The car hooks at first then unloads and spins.
My best 60' has been a 1.58 with 14lbs of tire pressure.

Will the tubes help stiffen the sidewalls enough to make a difference?

I'm sure a sponsor on here has them and can probally beat this price but I've seen a couple camaro's with over 500 rwhp run these DR's and they're great.

Get some weight off the front end, and you might have a chance against f8lsnk next time.

takes money and thats something i'm running short on. I tried leaving softer and the spinning only got worse so I guess i'll try leaving harder next time.

Remove the front sway bar. Should help you leaving.
