TRYME Member 313 Member For: 4y 4m 4d Posted 13/05/21 01:14 AM Share Posted 13/05/21 01:14 AM (edited) Yea without launching you should be ok for a while, but 400kw with any real good tyre your eventually gonna have dramas with your rear end it's just part and parcel of having a car with that much power (crazy Barra people say oh 400 is nothing on a Barra but 400rwkw is actually big power) my advice just get a good set of tyres don't launch and you should be pretty sweet for a good while.... down the track you mite need to spend some cash but anyone with that sort of car will you can't avoid it...... another thing to note being a ute they havnt exactly got a performance rear end in them anyway which dosent help the cause.... my advice get some good tyres Michelin's if your on the road all the time ( don't get semis if you daily drive the car, to much chance of a prang in the wet seriously not worth it) actually just re read the thread noticed it's a weekender semis mite be good for you then if your never gonna drive in the wet..... youl notice a huge difference over what you have atm Edited 13/05/21 01:20 AM by TRYME Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/96242-400kw-ute-tractiontyres/page/3/#findComment-1704740 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puffwagon Gold Donating Members 16,348 Member For: 10y 5m Gender: Not Telling Posted 13/05/21 09:50 AM Share Posted 13/05/21 09:50 AM Yeah I did the same with my bf turbo and it didn't snap or bend one little bit. I'm currently running a metric butt tonne of power in my territory and it hasn't broken yet either, although I take it somewhat easy on it...knock on wood Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/96242-400kw-ute-tractiontyres/page/3/#findComment-1704764 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know others who have stock input shaft and tail shaft and rave raced dozens and dozens of times no issues. all just luck.

VDSY Member 37 Member For: 4y 7m 11d Posted 14/07/21 06:21 AM Author Share Posted 14/07/21 06:21 AM So... ended up biting the bullet and just received some 15x10 Jegs for the rear of my xr6t ute Shave a bit off the banjo bolt on the rear brakes and had the guards rolled and they fit pretty snug wrapped in mickey thompsons et Streets 275/50/15 on a lowered ute looks good. Now to test the stock shaft out... wont be launching at all! just trying to eliminate power skidding at 4000rpm.😂 surely would be okay, guess time will tell...
