Drew grab the smaller dr’s anyways, alot more traction regardless of the tire width, and its alot less rolling resistance too. Heating the tires ALWYAYS helps, dont john force them because the tires will glaze over. A small burnout on street tires is best, mostly to get any rocks/debris off of them which=more traction. ---

Oh and Joey, 60’ times dont always go down. Its more common than not but i went from a 12.6@112 to a 1.61 60’ running a 11.81@112 :confused It is what is is and the car will do what the car will do, not everyones react the same. There are hardcore people on both side of the arguement, but you cant ignore the fact that anything is possible, soo many different variables… ---

Street tires are a harder compound rubber…you heat them up, they usually harden and become slippery as shit. ---
