    they are one of the stickiest tires out but they cost alot and wear out fast. street racers love them.

    Oh yeah, those are some sticky tires. Pricey but worth the money if you&#39;re willing to pay for them.

    Get a spare set of wheels. I got a set of 17&#39;s with some decent 28" tires for the front and a set of 16&#39;s for the rear with 28/11.5/16 ET&#39;s. That helped alot&#33;
