Default M/T's = the truth

Just got my new 275 MT drag radials mounted and they hook up GREAT... the new suspension mods along with these tires keep me going straight and the car feels 5 times faster...
Havent hit it with the spray yet but i have a feeling there will be little tire spin!

Schwab can do a Static ballance (Taped to the inside of the rim) but its not the best ballance. Dynamic is weights on the inner and outer lips (best).

Good to hear I ordered some 315s for my setup, hopefully they will hook better than the Nittos Dr's. Anyone need some Nittos with 70% tread left, they are great just wanted to try something different

If your stock 10bolt still doesn't blow up with spray and stickier tires then it must be a 1 of a kind factory freak....

I was amazed you hadn't grenaded it when you weren't spraying and you had the DR's on

I run the same size MT ET Street Radials (275/45/17) and really like the grip. I was only able to use them once at the track but I will probably pick up another pair when these wear out.
