Q. about getting better tires for launching with my '85.

[MrNuke]

I haev right now Borbet 17" wheels on teh car with Birdgestone 275/40/ZR17's all around. Needless to say I have the same launch problem I had with my 315's before. Off the line the car spins the tires if I try to launch hard. I also have my original 16" wheels with firehawk 255/50/ZR17's , and with those I can launch better (still not perfectly). I was wonderign if any1 knows some good tires that woudl help me on my launches.. I do not want to go full slicks as I driev the car often on teh roads, but somethign that grips betetr than normal tires..I wanan see whats the best I can pull out of the car speed wise with only basic mods I haev done. ;-)

Try some BFG or Nitto drag radials. I have a heck of a time getting hooked with my Dunlop's too. Nitto's are on the way.
