Z2TT Member 714 Member For: 13y 22d Posted 04/02/14 06:06 PM Share Posted 04/02/14 06:06 PM To start off, change to a better Tyre. Go for Top Tier street tyres like Michelin PSS, Pirelli P-Zero, Hankook Ventus RS3, if you want more grip there is even more gripper tyres but they will wear fast if you do lots of KM'sYour not going to get beaten by V6 Commodores so long as you don't mash the gas to the floor just give it enough so your accelerating with grip and give it more once you shift into highest gears. 2 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/87436-wheel-spin/#findComment-1453351 Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbotrana Member 2,586 Member For: 22y 2m 18d Gender: Male Posted 13/02/14 01:31 AM Share Posted 13/02/14 01:31 AM (edited) Got myself some Pirelli P Zero Corsa for the rears. Its probably the best tyre IMO for our Turbo cars. I was looking everywhere for a sub 100 treadware tyre with decent amount of tread in 19" and this was the only one available. Used in supercars like the MclarenThese have a 60 treadware and 6.35mm tread. Dont have 245s so put had to put 255/35/19 on the rear.I can accelerate now. NT05 with the 200 treadwear are crap in comparison.Only pitfall is $700 each. But if you can afford a modified and boosted Falcon you can afford this tyre.
