Serious Question.
I just had the drag radials removed from the CAB and had PS2 installed on all 4 corners. I just tapped the gas pedal and broke the tires loose. I thought these tires were suppose to be great?

Re: Serious Question.
You've gotta wait till the stickers wear off...

Re: Serious Question.
That is kind of funny. I took the stickers off before they mounted the wheels.

Robert, I'm 353 RWHP. Unless I seriously pop the clutch from a stop, no tire spin. 7K, bang second, very minor spin. -Steve

Re: Serious Question.
Jeff, I think you hit it right on the head. I got use to the drag radials. I had the GM dealership in town Road Force Balance the wheels today. When I went to pick up the car I drove it out of the shop gave it a little gas not much and laid a decent patch of rubber on the ground.

Re: Serious Question.
I was told by Discount Tire to expect them to slip some until the silicone release agent gets worn off and flung out of the tread. So, I laid a patch in their parking lot. Thats all it took. Nice and stickey, right away!

Re: Serious Question.
They gotta have some heat in them to really hook, thus the "burnout"

Re: Serious Question.
Okay, as soon as I get away from the house tomorrow I will do a burnout. I do not want my wife to complain about having to buy new tires in a couple of years because I burn the rubber off.
