I will definitely say they are the stickiest cheap tire you can get. Anything else no matter how much you pay for it tends to get greasy where the feds tend to maintain grip fairly well. That and we sell em pretty cheap.

I think since there are other issues (like top speed in 4th) that you are facing I would run those out and look at some 245-45-17's. A little taller and a little more contact patch on launch. That and maybe a little less boost on launch?

So i drove Ifarted2's evo today and well after i stalled it like 20 times trying to get on the road we did some freeway runs and like yeah i still have goose bumps, in 4th gear at 4.5k rpm's hold on and @#@! warp speed!! Crazy crazy fast i dont know how that thing stays on the road at boost in 1st and 2nd. I would be plenty happy with a 35R myself can only wonder what a 42R is gonna be like!
