A 14.451 @ 95mph is my best time at the track now I had some spin on that run but i think if I got some new tires that would erased that spin I would run faster but how much faster is the question. My mods are TFS Plenum, Densecharger CAI, and Flowmaster and its a AODE 99gt. Help me guys cause I hear all these guys running stock GT's and they are in the 14.1-14.0 range and I don't get it I have mods, not many but some. So will new tires out rear help me get to that 14.0-13.9 range and why is my mph so low.

well yer not gonna get as good of times b/c u got an auto, but yea tires help a lot, ive havent had personal experience w/ them but many people on here swear by the nitto 555r's but they dont last very long, i dunno about taking .5 off yer times but anything is an improvement over those crappy goodyears

Well if your track is way above sea Lv then thats your problem.Trap would be affected there...if near sea Lv then I dont know whats with the low traps.

I just finished a set of Nitto 555Rs and I highly recommend them. It will solve your tire spin problem, next best thing to slicks. But like spikeGT_99 said they dont last long. I had mine for about a year and that is with no tread and the metal showing.
