when we got the car the front tires were worn down to the actual wire on the insides and the backs are fine. but my god even the tread pattern looks cheap... it looks like some **** a kid playing in mud that took a toothpick and made a bunch of lines in it

Not a chance in first, if I'm rolling and I punch it. 2nd gear depends on road surface and temperature.

Mods in sig.

For 600rwhp on the street, the only tire you should be looking at is mickey thompson drag radials.

Looks like Hankooks in your picture. The pattern doesn't look bad to me. Same tires here.

With 600rwhp, good luck hooking on the street. Any street tire will go up in smoke, unless it's an ET street or a BFG/MT drag radial that you've heated up.

I got Nitto 555R in 315/35R17s. They hook on a 3rd gear roll but on a 1st or second gear roll or a clutch dump, I light them up. Now If I heat them up first and then go from a dig then I can get some traction but nothing like a set of ET streets.
