I am sure that a better wider tyre will help though Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/51485-wheelspin-issues-fgxr6t/page/2/#findComment-764411 Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do leave big fat black lines though....

mr gsr Member 46 Member For: 17y 10d Posted 08/11/08 11:59 PM Share Posted 08/11/08 11:59 PM Guys,You can get Michelin Pilot Cups in 265/30/19 for $800 a corner, but as will any semi-slick, these will be greasy until you get heat into them....Might be worth looking at the Continential Contact 2/3 or Michelin PS2's.... I've run Pirelli P zero Rosso, Yokohama Advan V103, Dunlop Sport 9000..... and I think the conti's or the michelin's are the better ones... Michelin's will get you on price though, so maybe look at the conti's... They will be around the $600 a tyre mark though for the sizes your looking at. Keep in mind, the size you guys are looking at is what the E46 M3's ran.... and most of those were delivered with Conti's from what I've seen or Cups on the CSL....

Craig. Member 563 Member For: 18y 2m Gender: Male Location: Sunshine Coast QLD Posted 09/11/08 12:53 AM Share Posted 09/11/08 12:53 AM I am having the same issues with my BFII ute, pretty bad wheelspin in first and second. Of course 900NM of torque running through a live axle has that effect. FWIW I am currently running yokie Advan V103s all round.I have been told the only way to stop/lessen is to go wider rims to take a 265 or 275 tyre, which I will do if I can find a rim I like.One tyre recommended to me by a pretty reputable guy was a Maxxis MA-Z1. Apparently they grip as well as any and are cheaper than the better known brands ( although still not really that cheap in that size), so worth a shot IMO.

One guy runs almost 400 at the wheels in a jap car and he raves about them. If you find a tyre place that buys lots of Toyo tyres you can get em as cheap as $320 - $330 a tyre fitted Do these come in 17" as well?

Will let you know how it goes. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/51485-wheelspin-issues-fgxr6t/page/2/#findComment-765053 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guests Posted 10/11/08 01:46 AM Share Posted 10/11/08 01:46 AM What else did you expect with such a torquey car/ute & sh*tter Dunlops on the rear?? Once you put some decent rubber on you'll stick to the road no worries until you start modding, then it's time for semi slicks!

Better then the stock Dunflops in the dry, better again in the wet.They seem to wear pretty well too, done 23,000kms on them and the fronts are around 40%. Dunlops were on markers at 25,000. AAA+ tyre, would smoke up again Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/51485-wheelspin-issues-fgxr6t/page/2/#findComment-765135 Share on other sites More sharing options...
