I'm pretty sure my tires need to be replaced pretty badly... The front ones are still in good shape, but the back ones have tread left but I get a crapload of wheel spin, even if I try and launch a little more conservatively. Yesterday I raced some hurting 70's olds and didn't burn him til my wheels finally stopped spinning in 3rd! It was humiliating. What's weird is they don't really peel out, or smoke, they just... Spin.

I've got yokohamas on there now, stock 16" rims. Should I just replace the rear ones with the same tire? Or should I replace all 4 with a different type?

 

bfg drag radials on the back should stop your wheelspin in a heart beat. But they dont exactly last long if u run them at low pressure at the track alot.

 

Wrong forum, but I just put on 245/45/16's Bridgestone Potenza S03 PPs. I am REALLY enjoying them.

 

I've had a stack of those in my garage since december. fighting thru some issues with the car and haven't gotten em on yet. have you dragged or autox'd in em?

 

Nitto 555r drag radials are very very nice! I don't know how long they will last but I am hoping they will be good for a while.

 

Have not dragged or autoX'ed them. I have put them through thier paces on a few runs and they are very confidence inspiring.

Will be running a road course on them but not till late July.

 

I have 10K miles on a set of stock size Bridgestone Potenza S-03's. Excellent tire, smootc, quiet and grippy in dry AND wet.
