It's probably not a very standardized system - but if you look at the spray of rubber on the underside of my car that goes from the front tires all the way almost to the back tires, and also coats the entire inside of my wheelwell, it makes sense my tires didn't last, haha.

I've only run it maybe 10 times at the strip on these tires, but 1st gear is all tirespin, so it kills em there, and then on the street it's the same thing. And it's fun, so I do it a lot, haha.

Mine will see all seasons of weather, but I'll probably rotate my KDW's to the back when I get them for winter. Use my Eagle GT's up front. I forget, can we fit a 225 45 18 on the stock rim?

45 is gonna throw the speedo off a bit...but yes, that should fit.

KDWs are NOT good winter tires.

my kdws are grippy enough for full bolt ons and a tune. Once and a while I chirp them on a 40 roll punch but for the most part 235/40/18 are pretty legit. No matter what you get if you drop the clutch your gonna get spin haha

S/C stock is 215/45/18, so that's why i was thinking of going 225/45. But I'm still only making about 260whp. I do plan on going E-85 here soon. Going to get my mid length and possibly drop to a 2.8 with a ZZP dyno tune first.

KDWs are meant for lateral acceleration anyways, but they grip good for straightline acceleration too. They only spin...a tad...(okay, a lot)...on that red SRT-4 that you saw...

Damn devil, sounds like youve had a rough past few days. definitely been there.
You should use my traffic lawyer. Shes great! Got a 114 recduced to a 80/70. And also got me 0 points on a stop sign violation. She charges $300, and you dont even have to show up to court! she does it for you. Let me know if you want her name and #. Best of luck tho!

Hmmmm I was gonna use this guy my friend used got a DUI turned into 6 months probation, 500$ fine and like impaired driving or sumthing minuscule. Altho getting 114 down to 80 is pretty amazing and stop sign and not having to show upo sounds amazing lol. I think its mandatory on reckless driving charges tho :/
