I like Sumitomo tyres, excellent handling at high speeds, and superb wet and dy traction. Angular shoulder blocks for that steering response and dry grip. Great price as well

Default tires.....

Ended up buying a set of mickey Thompson ET street radials. I read a bunch of reviews,almost all 5 stars.Im just hoping for traction. 1st and second gear has been usless. Took my 21 year old son for a ride. We were in second gear...6 grand burnout going almost 60. Im sure you guys know that burnouts are were most wrecks happen, on strip. It went to the right really quick.Freaked me out for a second, but it was on back roads. I guess im getting to old for this **** :} Hears is a pic of tire. Thanks for all the advise. Love this site.

Read my post under the title...drag induction. Cool dragstrip reunion at Wades hotrod shop. Anybody want any info email me
