On my old car, 1.72 60ft with nitto 17" dr's. I pulled a 1.69 60ft with the 03 with BFG 17" DR's. PSI was in the 17 range. Launching technique was rev to 4-5k and drop the clutch. My track is treated well tho.
I would get the BFG's, they are GREAT tires, and will last longer then the M/T's
Ok not to be depressing or anything but let me tell you what happened last night. All of you that said 1.7+ and stuff better hold on tight. Last night my freind ran his bone stock almost new M3. This kid is 16 and has never been to the track before and on his first race he cut a 1.68 60' WITH STOCK EVERYTHING INCLUDING TIRES! Ran a 13.0 @ 102 mph. WTF is up with that !!! Im selling my left nut to buy one now, either that or swapping a M3 ecu, tranny, and suspension into my car.
I was using onebad95's bfg's last season. I just got a set of my own yesterday, so maybe ill get a chance to drive them in the rain. They are amazing on the street though, what a difference!
If they Comp TA dr's have tread they are ok in the rain, as long as your arent an idiot. The Nitto's are better in the rain, but only if they have tread. If they are bald like mine they are almost undriveable in the wet stuff.
