better than street tires but still not super good, but with over 500 rwhp and 500 rwtq i don'thtink many tires besides slicks are gonna hold all that well

i can if i baby it off the line and then get on it once it is hooked, but anything ove a 2500 dump, or if i start out at a slow roll and then bang it down the tires don't stand a chance.
