but yeah, i got some new tires that in my opinion put those potenzas to shame, they are federal ss595 drift tires and cost a little more than half the oems.
i had to plus size the rears from 225/50/18 to 235/50/18 but other than that, smooth sailing.

i showed up at the tire place and they jokingly asked if id want to eliminate the rest of tires behind their shop, i happily agreed and asked if they would film :)

bouncing off rev limiter = bad, but other than that, pretty damn sweet :twisted:

it wasnt redlining at all....they have minor protection even after traction is turned off.

ohhhhhh, ok... I was wondering why it was cutting off so early... Those new tires look awesome. Drift tires, eh? Ever consider Mashimoto ZX tires? :lol: :lol:

That was an awesome burnout! Be safe and keep it to a minimum, though. :wink:
