at wsid you grip heaps more than the street it just makes sense cause of thousands and thousands of cars that have gone down leave tyre residue so the road has a nice fat layer of rubber. rubber on rubber = moarr traction!!

RE01's from my DC2 = too much spin in 1,2,3. Very good in the wet though
Falken Azenis RT615 = Much better than the RE01's, Good traction in 1st, but would break traction in 2nd but reasonably controllable ... heres a video with dem

Advan 032R's = Very Good with traction overall 1st,2nd little bit of wheelspin but nothing compared to the Azenis,
Im going to be trying a new semi slick maybe Toyo R888's....
Semi slicks arent that much more expensive than RE01's if you know were to look, Kumho Ku36,R888 are a bang for buck semi slick and definitely way better than the RE01's
Btw downsides to the Semi's are they are a death trap in heavy rain :( but upsides are they last so much longer than normal street tyres.
my 2c. inb4 keep my 2c
Semis last longer than street tyres?

Its just what i have noticed with my car as with the street tyres your spinning like a khunt thru each gear, effectively wearing them out much easier...
Burnout even when slightly hard takeoff yulleh >>?

gsipsi i am dissapoint
ku36 =semi? wat
semi's last longer then street tyres? wat
Azenis.. known to be shite as soon as you get a bit of heat into them (releases an oily residue)
op when your tyres wear out try going with ado8's or starspec z1's, apparently best street tyres out atm.
try playing around with the tire pressure, ride height, damper settings. maybey also go get your alignment settings checked to make sure they're not outa whack.
otherwise you might just have to adjust your driving style.
also i can't see vidya, unless dat ps3 browser being a cheeky kunt
lol semis wear out alot quicker than street tyres. and im happy with the re01r's. grips well in wet and dry but with alot of road noise which i dont mind. will be interesting to try other tyres though.
yeah i got a feeling its my susssy settings. and within the last 3 months ive drop the car abit so that couldve changed my allignment settings? plus i soften the damper not long ago on all four
got a while before my tyres will wear out so ill try muck around with sussy settings and/or driving style and see how i goes. worse case senario might have to go with new set of rims with some kind of semis
Don't smash shift to second. It is the shock you are applying to the tyres when you pop the clutch in second that is breaking them loose, if you shift more smoothly and match the revs when you disengage the clutch then you will have much less trouble maintaining traction. Chirping second might impress the ladies but it isn't that fast.
yeah that makes sense. ill give it a go when i take my car out on the weekend.Quote:
