Well for starters i only got in 4 runs, and for the most part the whole car is a new set up. I had to switch back to a factory style clutch and the 5 speed, since my centerforce is under warentee replacement, and my t-56 has a b ent input shaft. Anyway. very first time with these tires at 20 psi pulled a 2.03 and it was easy. Next time out pulled a 1.93. That was my best since after that i switched lanes and the track prep was crap, and i didnt have time to relearn, but no matter what i did even frying them off the line i still pulled 2.03 or better, which is dam good if you ask me. I like them alot, they are very easy tires to drive on, and if i learned the car a bit better im sure 1.8-1.7 is in there. My biggest problem is stock suspension with cracked torque boxes, so axle hop wasnt big but it was there. Unfortunutly my car isnt making the power it should be for whatever reason, so i was trapping only 100 instead of 102ish like i should be, so that cost me my 12.99 i think.

they acctually do really well on the road. I have to try and fry them now, but other then that they hold first gear dam near perfect, which cant be easy with 3.90s Now i basically dont have traction problems. Make my car feel faster than **** on the road.

Did you try nitto d/r's ever? With my NT05's, I hold like glue and they have a pretty stiff sidewall and a 200 TWR. The nitto d/r's have less sidewall and a stickier compound. I bet the nittos would have done you the same and probably cheaper. Just saying.
