I have had them and am at stock power levels.Now running a 275 NT05 and I wouldn't even say that holds 1st gear 100%. Maybe they did for a very slight period after they wore in. Keep in mind, 1st gear in a ZF is short. You really need to not flatten it straight away. Give it more throttle as the revs rise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I run my rears at 30psi and im happy with the amount of traction they provide once warm. My cars not standard and I can easily get full traction in second so id imagine they would work ok on a standard car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmmaybe. Probably soft aswell so would wear quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cujo_r33 New Member 23 Member For: 15y 3m 28d Posted 27/07/14 05:56 AM Author Share Posted 27/07/14 05:56 AM Hmm, interesting. I wasn't expecting that good street tyres would have such a hard time with the amount of torque our cars put out! Oh well, I may have to reconsider what I want from my tyres, although it does say a lot about the FK452s which, all things considered, sound like they were probably doing a pretty decent job...

fehlbie Donating Members 142 Member For: 15y 7m 22d Posted 27/07/14 09:45 AM Share Posted 27/07/14 09:45 AM I have run Bridgestone, falken, Dunlop and Nitto Invo. The Nitto Invo is the best tyre I have used. They are quiet, grip really well in the wet and dry and you get reasonable mileage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
