NICE! what tires ya goin with . . .

LS4SPEED Mar 10, 2009 06:51 PM

WOW, that was dumb. I have never been able to beat on my cars in that manner. If your still trying to sell it, I hope the new owners never see that video!

Red03GT Mar 10, 2009 06:58 PM

Nope, I'm keeping it and just paying it off. If I do get rid of the car it'll just get traded in. I bought it as an ex-rental anyways lol first time I really let out on her like that.

BFG KDW 2's in the front and Goodyear Eagle F1 A/S in the rear.

LS4SPEED Mar 10, 2009 07:21 PM

Why two different brands? I realize you have two different tire sizes, were the rears still good and you only bought new fronts? Just curious.

Panther427 Mar 10, 2009 07:43 PM

OH and AWSOME burn out. That is great. Cant wait to replace my tires HEHE.



Its really hard finding 2 matching sizes in the exact same tires. The only ones out there are $200 plus for each tire. Stock Bridgestone, Pilot sport A/S, Blizzaks, and even the good year eagle A/S are expensive. I too plan on getting some ot the BFG for my front tires. Probally get something different for the rear tires than the Goodyears since they get loud later on and i have herd they wear fast.

Red03GT Mar 10, 2009 07:44 PM

Rear tires were worn on the inside due to the camber and toe being all fucked up as per this thread and the fronts were on the wear indicators as well. I wanted stickier tires in the front for better traction and I'd rather have the rear kick out instead of understeer, so I didn't mind the harder compound on the rear. In retrospect, I couldn't gone with the BFG gforce sports for the rears, but these will do.

Panther427 Mar 10, 2009 07:52 PM

The BFG will be great track tires. Should help lower 60ft times. HOw do u like them

Red03GT Mar 10, 2009 07:59 PM

Haven't really tried launching it yet but from a 20 roll it pretty much dead hooks with no spin, a lot better than the stock Potenzas. Quarter-mid throttle when turning from a stop is a lot better now too, don't have the computer kicking in bogging down for spinning one tire. So far I really like em.

Very nice, I can't get my Impala to do one like that.

I see that it wasn't the first one there either!

I can’t stop giggling. That’s freaking awesome you made my morning. I’ve never seen a pile of rubber smoldering in the road before.

rzuff Mar 11, 2009 11:37 AM

That was pretty awesome might have to try that when I need tires

Red03GT Mar 11, 2009 03:14 PM
