Re: Serious Question.
Hit an unexpected patch of water or get caught in a surprise rain shower with those PS2's and you'll see a major difference.

Re: Serious Question.
Don't tell me this $hitt. I just gave a deposit for a full set of PS2's.

Re: Serious Question.
Thank you Al.
It must be the low HP Purple car's that are having trouble with the PS2's.

Re: Serious Question.
Frank you are correct 500hp purple cars have trouble getting traction with any tire!

Re: Serious Question.
Robert, I hear you and understand what you mean. I'm running the Nitto NT05R drag radials and for the type of driving I do and the frequency, I don't think I will ever go back to pure street tires. I love em' since I don't really drive in rain and when I did have to, I had no issues. I think once I went over a certain HP level, regular tires just won't do for me.

Re: Serious Question.
