I'm running these tires also. They are great all around. But I really couldn't get the full effect of them like everyone else does because the track I go to you have to drive through the water pit. And even spinning the tires a little bit still didn't help. But not just looking for better 60ft. times, I did end up with a better E.T.. But I only got 4 runs on these because they kicked me out for not having a roll bar haha. Probably gonna try a different track in 2 weeks or so.

That's great! Do you have a breakdown of the timeslip?

I am considering these tires for next season but t bothers me a little bit that I would have to put them on the car at the track, since driving on those tires in Queens and on the turnpike it's like asking for trouble!

We ll see. I haven't made up my mind yet bt probably I will go with the 16" Hoosiers since people have been pulling even 1.30s 60fts!

I don't know where the slips at but I do remember that I was hitting 98 mph in the 1/8 mile and the 60ft was like a 1.7 I think. They were spinning kinda bad though because even spinning them out of the water pit a little, they were kinda still wet. Going to englishtown next season since you can drive around the water pit

Quick tip; After you roll through the water box, just roll the car back and forth a few times between the box and staging beams on dry pavement to dry off the tires a little. Or do a quick burnout.
