400+whp crew
400+whp crew What tires are you guys running for daily driving? Street tires, not DRs. I have 275s (Sumitomos out back) on all four corners and I blow the tires away getting on it in either 1st or 2nd gear. makes the occasional on-ramp blast hard to do.

Well I have 285/30/20 Nitto 555's and with a stall have the same problem under about 50 mph. I think making 400 plus to the wheels make it difficult on street tires. Are you still running stock 3.42's?
I have 3.90s and just an intake and exhaust. And my 295-35-18 BFG KDW2s hook very nicely. Granted I've only got about 320 to the wheels, I do have the slightly higher gear ratio.

LCA's going on soon along with panhard bar. right now it just has subframe connectors and body mount torque arm
I've got 315 nittos in the back and even they'll spin when I hit the nitrous at full throttle. The only other time they'll break loose is when it's raining. Other than that they hook pretty good.

315/35ZR17 Nitto Drags here for daily use. A little spin but not much.
275/50R15 Mickey Thompson Street Radials for serious duty. They hook like a *****!
Just put some 295/35ZR18 GS-D3's on my friends Z06 and they hook very well for not being a drag radial. A lot better than the supercars that came on it from the factory.
