I like to take my convertible out and drop the top....and jam through the gears in the winter....in the mountains......with tunes cranking with my ski hat on 1014 RWHP

Of course traction sucks....but 3rd gear pulls can be fun....

Whats a good bang for the buck....with 30-45 degree temps outside? and traction focused?

When it snows, put drag radial chains on them.

i use Mickey ET streets in the summer....wasnt sure if its a waist to use in really cold temps...?

any others that last longer and hook?

Summer rated tires in the winter and big hp = Paul walker

I really Dont think any tires will hook in the winter with 1000hp! be careful Man!!

You are kidding correct. It will be hate to get any street DOT tire to hook under 75 mph even in the hot weather at these rwhp #.

The tire you are looking for has not been invented yet!

thats what I wanted to say.

How do putting drag radials on your car in the winter make ride with someone in a CGT and crash/burn? Srrry Jeff, but good try.

you need the AWD mod.

i actually had ok results with Bf goodrich....basic ones....maybe comps.
when my car was 938 rwhp...if i drove them on the highway for 20 minutes....they really warm up ok even in 35% temps.....

then 3rd and 4th gear pulls through the canyons....they were fun....and held a bit....

I am not quite at the 1000rwhp level but I really like the 335/30/18 Hoosier drag radials. They work great on my car.

master blaster

did u use them in cold temps...35-45 ?

When I was at around 600 rwhp, ET streets at 40 degrees was instant tire spin. Seriously at those temps and rwhp level, nothing is going to give you any traction.

Get a VHT Control kit from Julio, it installs in front and is progressive, so will spray more VHT
on the road as boost increases.

a/c man

That would be so cool

I'm not anywhere near your power, but if lugging the motor down out of it's powerband then you're not making digits. I've done HPDE in just above freezing conditions and my stock 275/40r18 540 tread wear all season tires do better than 315/30r18 200 treadwear high performance tires and 295/40r17 30 treadwear R compounds were a joke without heat in them going sideways at triple digits. The higher the UTCG rating/harder tire compound will actually do better with colder temps as it's a better match in tire/temp compound from my experience.
