it seems like my nitto drag radials are worse then my sumitomos when it is cold out side or when the tire is cold. is it just me or is this how they are? i was racing my friends camaro z28 last night and beat him every time from a roll by about a car or a car 1/2. but from a stop his cheap bridgstones he had on there got me out of the whole. it was about maybe 45-50 degrees out. i spun like crazy through first and couldnt catch and then i short shifted into second and still spun. i know they can hook descent when they are heated up or on a prepped track. i just thought since its a softer compound they would get me some more traction on the street. btw they are pretty new.
My old 245 Khumo ECSTA ASX's had better grip than my 315 Nitto's when cold.
