But mine can!#liquidhorsepowerWhatever the cheap Falken's the original owner of my old XR6T put on it before he sold it to me were, they did this. Would spin coming on boost in a straight line in third or fourth in the wet...even with traction control on and stock car...was farken scary at times... Edited 18/06/14 07:31 AM by .Stripes.

Ive had 2 sets of rears and 1 set of fronts. Grip is excellent for 2/3 of their life then they turn to liquidhorsepower for the rest as described above.Which is fine by me.Yep I put N6000 on the wifes BF 245/35/19. They work well.Steve just stick with 245/40/18 Edited 18/06/14 08:12 AM by arronm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grip levels can only go up from here lemme tell ya!Good point about the diameter loss. Wonder if I call first thing if I can get him to grab 255 40 18 instead for the rears...should have paid closer attention to the willtheyfit.com page, was in a rush as lunch break was well and truly over!

I got them and I will be getting something else soon.I only got 16k out of them and they are shocking in the wet.

Pretty rowdy tyre from everything I've heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll see how they go I guess. If they are really shocking I'll either enjoy flogging them hard and replace with Invos from Taleb or sell em off ASAP and take the hit to the hip pocket, and buy Invos ASAP, hahaha.

If I get right under it in first it will spin with 300rwkw but 2nd grips well. 300 treadwear so should last a fair while aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
