I knwo this has probably been discussed before but wondered if there was any new tyres or some old favourites i want some sticky tyres for the drag strip as when i went yesterday every time the 2nd turbo came in the wheels span, dont want drag radials though, any suggestions? no tbothered how long they last either :)

Cheers

Chris

:hijack: oi :p

erm my best was a 12.86 bit dissapointing but for the little traction i was getting was pleased nice to break into the 12's

only one other supra ran that i know of a red one, not from here though he got a 13.8 i think he said

but i need to drive to the drag strip other wise i would get drag radials, and yeah was using the 17's

i have the goodyear's on the 19's and they are very grippy could be worth a try, was wondering if yoko's are still as good as they were for stickyness?

and ill be at elvington aswell so we can both try to beat it :D

did it get better with 285's on? i just had the 255's on mine

and i did try to get plenty of heat through them with the nice watery patch ;)

I had toyo's on before and they seemed very grippy, but maybe just becuase the car was slower then :confused:

TBH I ran P Zero's at 36 psi, and it didnt 'feel' much better than when I was on stockers 255's with Eagle F1's :) Then again I dont know what the hell im doing hehe.

No, I'd still go for the Pirellis for dry weather grip over the F1's as they are softer compound but wear quicker as a street tyre in my experience.

 

By not knowing what im doing, I meant driving the car ;)

Hope so, seems like i've never been in the car this year :(

 

Can't wait to see what it looks like, the combination of kit hasn't been done before to a Storm Blue, if any car so we'll see. I just hope the stock bumper looks ok with the kit.....
