  • Excellent for a street tire

    700rwhp camaro whipple supercharger 6 speed stick. I can spin them if I want to but from a roll without doing a burnout on a warm day I'm getting 90% traction in first gear. Yes if I launch I'll spin it dump the clutch I'll spin or stab the throttle I'll spin. But I've also never tried doing a burnout and a launch. For my purposes it's been great. But I don't really race. I have a set of real drag slicks on welds for that if I wanted to.
  • Good tires for the street

    For being drag radials they have lasted longer than expected. 20" tires in my Gtr best 60' at the track was 1.77 27lbs @847hp
  • Best tires for my Hellcat

    I have tried a few tire brands for my Hellcat. The Nitto's 555RII are the best. Have ordered them twice already
