Has anyone noticed that Bridgestone RE730s hook up almost as well as slicks when hot? Yesterday, I had done some tuning and wanted to check out the upper rpm HP. Rather than changing tires, I left on the street tires -225/50-16- and went to my local deserted two lane. I dropped the clutch at 3500 rpm and expected the usual wheel spin, but the boost kicked in sooner than expected and really smoked the 730s for about a second, then, they bit, like a friggin aircraft carrier catapult. I never intentionally burned out with street tires, since what's the point? If you're going for maximum traction you use slicks. Anyone else ever try this with RE730s?

 

yep, check out the sig, this is with 275/40's out back at Houston Raceway Park. I was running 24psi in them.
