Default eagle f1 runflats..

i just put my friends old vette wheels on my camaro that had 16x8's with h rated kumhos and his are eagle f1 r/f...well, these tires wont hook for anything..all power i can go across intersections and break loose flooring it at 45-50...are runflats just not good for traction or did getting rid of a/c give that much power?..i pulled the belt of b/c my compressor went out and i dont need a;c for the upcoming season...

runflats arent made to provide traction, theyre made to get you from point a to b if you have a flat since the vettes didnt have spares? what year corvette was this because i dont recall a 16" with runflats
