[QUOTE="Zandura99, post: 14784536, member: 159927"] yeah its tough to find a street tire (Non-drag radial) that will launch well. I get better traction when I went to my 285 Pirelli than the stock 245... but that is not saying much. learn to slip the clutch a bit to get a decent launch, and if its that cool (60-70) you will need to warm the tires up a bit. If they are cold that is the bottom of any good summer tires temp range and they are going to spin easily. They do need a bit of heat in them (not a big smokey burnout... but some heat). Drag radials are all good, but some of us want to turn hard and grip well laterally... so its hard to go away from a good summer performance tire to a drag radial because they just are not for aggressive driving in the turns. You will have to temper your expectations if you expect to carve up some corners as well. [/QUOTE]
