Traction Problems

[backinastang]

What are the better tires to run to help this beast hook. Smoking tires it fun but loses races. Any help is great.

if you only drive in dry conditions use a drag radial

you could try a street legal competition tire like the toyo proxes r888

you could make some suspension changes like aftermarket LCAs or switch to a Watt's link and torque brace (Grigg's for example)

Your avatar is distracting.

What size tire? That will determine your options.

Would suspension changes void the warranty?

the new nitto 5rs i believe are pretty good but theyre not good for very long.. Chris cruz runs them on 20" and ran low 9s on 900+ rwhp, but he said they were only good for about 20 burnouts. I cant remember the name of them but I know theyre the new nittos which look like the m/t ets

Your talking about the NT05R's Great tire, but yeah, low mileage from them.

only if something broke and it was proven that the aftermarket suspension caused that failure...

If you also like the twisties.... look at the R888's and I hear they also work good in the rain. I love mine;-)
