Man last night this M.F. kept revvin his engine in his new Vette at the light.Of course my girl cant stand spinning tires or the thrill of spead.(She almost died in a bad roll over and has a fucked up femur).

So I know i can take a vette cause I've done it at the track over and over (staight away in the road course).He takes off I give him 3 cars and I roll into 2nd then stand on it. I spin out as usual and he goes I i start to catch in 3rd but I intersection and screaming passenger

shuts it down for a rerun.

I know I can get the Toyo,RE71s and stuff that is sticky road race tires but they get too slick too fast. What is a good sticking street tire...PSO2?,Goodyear F1.

let me know what hooks up in the street that isNOT a street drag tire.(M&H, ET)

Thanks

I have bridgestone Potenzas at the track they handles pretty well. I have to reccomend. But they are pretty pricey if you ask me!

I've had my kumhos for over 2 years now. in the dry warm weather they kick ***, good grip, nice cornering ability. They kinda suck in the rain though, and well we won't even discuss snow!!!



There are much better tires but for like $70 a tire you cannot beat them.

well i must be honest I want a good tire that grips so I am not lookin for a bargin.I know that i have had the AVS, Dunlop 900, now have Nitto 555 (the pits) Toyo Proxes R1 (they are awsome but slick fast ) Bridgestone RE71 R (awsome too ,slick fast too).

I'm hoping someone has the potenza SO2,or some other top of the line who can tell me the how the wear cycle is. If your tire says tread wear higher than 200 its a hard tire but it will last.Most passenger tires are 275-300 treadwear rating.
