AmericanMuscle4.6GT

i just topped off my tires with air (40 PSI like they did when i got them) and it feels great, rides good, normal, etc; but when i floor it in first, i don't notice a loss of traction, but i look in the rear view mirror, and im leaving tire marks. not super thick, not dark, but they're there, and they're from me.


any thoughts?

I notice i will do the same with my car and I can never get smoke but there are nice long streaks behind me!

the tires aren't even perceptibly spinning tho, its weird. when i first got my wheels swapped, i could hear them spinning, you know? and a little wheelhop. but now it just squats and goes.

Yeah that is my problem.....it doesnt sit there and spin like it used to......a little rubber laid and then takes off.....good for the track, sucks for trying to put a show on[:@]

i can't really tell when i'm spinning in my car. i might get some noise, but very little. if my windows are up all i hear is engine.

I thought they were only like 32psi?

thats where it says cold tire inflation pressure. tires say 44 max, i think optimal is somewhere in between. they'll wear faster and get worse mileage if pressure is too low.

Hows the tread on the tires you have now compared to the stockers
