Re: Traction problem

What size, brand and type of tire do you have and how wide are the wheels

Take the Turbo off. That should do it.

Grooming your nostril hair might help.

Re: Traction problem

Yeah I forgot to edit out the nose shots, LOL.

These were Kuhmo ASTs from my 5.0L Firebird. I would not run these cheapo Kuhmos on any car in the 12's or faster as you can see

I normally run 245/50/16 Kuhmo SPTs on my TTA. They are OK, nothing great.
