Al Gore FTW is a glorious beacon of light

its because the stock tires are shitty, and likely not as sticky as the tires you put on.

the tires do have a little to do with not catching 2nd, but if you increase the rim size that is the real reason you cant get the tires to bark because it takes more power to turn a larger radius wheel.

as stated above bigger rims are harder to move for the car so you has less acceleration right now but more displacement physcis 101...

unless you rev higher your car for the 2nd gear and release the clutch pretty damn fast you wont hear your tires squeal...
