Especially once you've had practice at the drag strip.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nelsonian101 Donating Members 961 Member For: 16y 7m 11d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 14/03/14 05:29 AM Share Posted 14/03/14 05:29 AM It probably exploded because the pressures were too high.Most people don't realize that 25-30psi is a good cold starting point for circuit slicks.They are designed for negative camber cornering, not drag racing.Having said that, if set up correctly, with adequate heat, they will be far stickier off the line than a regular road or R spec tyre, and are quite cheap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
