Rep Power: 379

i have 205/40/17 kumho mx tires on my car now, i wanted to know what was better to use for the strip what is on now or stock 14 inch rims/tires with low pressure?

stock definetly are better. Proven over and over. I'd run the fronts at 28 lbs at the lowest and the rears at like 37lbs.,any lower in the front and you will actually be losing the contact patch in the middle of the tire and also creating more drag(think of how hard it is to drive on a flat) the rear should get more pressure so it rolls easier. Dont drive on the street like that or you will shred the tires. In reality though without major mods stock pressures should be fine. I know this sounds dumb but if you dont have a lot of mods get your tires wet in the waterbox and only do a baby peelout. I know its going against the grain but doing this lets you get some wheelspin to get the revs up because the water will stay in the treads a little bit. With a stock motor lots of traction and no torque will drop a motor flat on its face as soon as you dump the clutch. hope this helps man.

kool thanks for the adivce im not stock and i'll be sparying next time i race, just wondering, but i think i'll keep my aftermart rims on the back seeing as their lighter than the steelies.

good thought i wasnt thinking about the rear wheel weight. Plus less crap to change. try both though you may be surprised.
