i run bias ply too.

im assuming you are running a radial up front? its likely whats causing it. you will get use to it and stop getting out of it. just wait til you start trapping 120+ it starts getting really fun

Yeah ive ran 5 times prior to this with the bais ply but the track I did that at was alot wider so i wasnt as worried but this track was pretty narrow. Im looking into doing 15s all around so i will get some skinnies pretty soon.

Thanks. Im think about changing it. I kind of want to go back to a stock look to make it kind of a sleeper once i get the zex kit spraying.
