Wow, traction really is ******* everything
I lost to a ******* bolt-on/tune Honda Civic just now, and I about surrendered my damn man card. He was cool as ****, though, and I complimented him on his win and asked if we could do a couple more runs. I was more careful about spinning the tires and I annihilated his *** twice. So I'm 2-1 vs. his Honda. I can't believe that little tire spin was the difference between him gapping me and me putting bus lengths on him. My tires are brand new Firehawk Indy 500s, I can't believe I'm still spinning them like that from a launch.

Sorry I'm not sure which part of the forum to put this.

my 555 extremes (old design) do ok. 460 rwhp with 3.89s and a t56, if i smash it at 4000 in second gear it usually just chirps 2-3 times through the gear......however, if you arent dead straight they wanna spin much easier......my next tire will be regular NT05 tho, no radials tho, if i wanted to shorten my tire change interval i would use my line lock more often

no the extremes are the non radial. miles id say at least 6000 with at least 25 5 second track burnouts. id say i got 35-40% tread life left. i dont understand why these guys with bolt ons have issues with these tires.....i mean yea the top half of 1st is useless but 2nd gear has a lot of use.....and yes from a dig they arent amazing but once moving i say great tire for what they are. and walmart i got them for 135 a piece......
