Your tires should hook on the track. At well prepped track on street tires you can cut 1.8 sixty foots. A friend of mine was just doing that on those exact tires at the drag strip in Mission B.C.

i don't remember who it was, but somebody on here said it best:

"running at the track with street tires is like running the 40 in flip flops."

get some slicks or drag radials and be done with it.

I have those tires but 245's... they aren't great on the street, I can tell that much. I wonder if I can deflate them to 15psi or something for the track.

Thats going to hurt you more than help. Go out and do a burn out and look at the black marks. If there is more black on the outsides you need to add air. If its more in the middle let some out. Untill the black mark is the same all the way across.
