Exclamation NO Traction!

Im pretty pist off with the fact that I had better traction with a completely stock rear and would like to know why! I have a perfectly working 8.8, bilsteins, H+R supersports (soon to come off), eibach sway bar, 10.5's wrapped in 315/35 vredestein ultrac sessantas....

I had way better traction with $50 Falken FK452's on my stock rims than these freakin $200 a peice vredsteins... Is that rubber just plain sh*t or is my rear to stiff? Would LCA's really help me that much?

I have a full exhaust with stock gearing as my mods and if I launch at 2.3k rpms the freakin thing just SPINS where as with the Falkens and stock rims I could at like 3.5k and barely break loose. I think thats pretty pitiful...

vredestiens suck, they are total garbage. That's why they're on almost every single set of wheels and tires on EBAY. You'd be better off, for the money, with some kumhos

Yeah, I'd think the cold weather would kind of come in to play a little also...
