Then on the highway at like 60-70mph i down shifted to 3rd & nailed it,lost traction again! WTF! Anyone else running this tire?

Anyway... heres a teaser pic i took with my phone this morning... ive got the sportlines installed in the front, but my rears still have the FRPP springs. I'll post a thread with more pictures once i get the sportlines on..


Car is looking good man! As far as the tires, not trying to be snooty or anything, but a quick Google search on those tires ( because I've never heard anything about them ) and 5 minutes of reading has shown me that people owning ricers ( Integras etc. ) or in general, low hp low torque vehicles LOVED them. On the flipside, MANY people, including Mustang owners, HATED them, that had a decent amount of hp/tq to spin 'em. Research is everything My personal suggestion, the BFG KDW2's, $179 a piece on Tirerack.com and they are AMAZING tires IMHO. Even in the rain, normal driving ( which for normal for me is aggressive for most ) I didn't have ANY problems with them slipping or losing traction. Sorry bud
