I based that comment purely on my experience with my Nitto's vs numerous friends that drove around and puctured their MT DR's.

614 WAS my peak RWHP (I just changed my setup and a new tune). With the old combo (614 RWHP), I could launch it on the street without heating up the drag radials and it would dead hook in 1st gear.

Ah ha, that's what I thinking then.
