hey guys i just used these tires on my 02 ws6 with a size 315, and they rocked. i launched the car at 4500 rpm and they hooked so good i pulled the wheels off the ground and got a 1.55 60ft. and ran a 10.92@127 mph. the car has about 550rwhp and didnt spin. when i tried to launch at 5000, the tires spun but still managed to pull the wheels. these tires are amazing for being a drag radial. also the car is a 6 spd. with a spec stage 3+ clutch.

Thanks for the comments guys, even with the 18" rim and the 30 profile with very little sidewall it still hooked up as good as it did. the only think i noticed was that after the front end came down, i had some tire hop. im not sure if that had to do with the pinion angle of the rear or because i had such little sidewall. i have a adjustable torque arm, and it set pretty level, but idk if it set the way its supposed to be. thanks
