Good Tires For FI?

elperuano · 03-12-2013, 02:37 PM

Has anyone changed LSD n stayed with stock gearing? I'm at 534 n mainly jus do street racing so I'm wondering if switchin to taller gears is beneficial to me. For those that went with higher gears did u do it specifically for the drag strip so u don't hve to switch into 5th gear?

The 3.3 will help you out for sure, my car is mainly for the street as well.

I am not sure who else has made the switch besides my self.

I am running stock gearing with a os giken lsd.. still way to much wheel spin all the way till the end of 3rd and sometimes 4th if its cold out. That's on a 305/30/19 michelin PSS.. I would definitely not recommend these tires to anyone at this power level

Thanks. I'm runnin 20s.. Yokohama s drive 285 n I spin all 3rd.. 4th gear I can finally hook somewhat.. Hmmm kinda disappointed in hearing the os giken lsd didnt help u much... You think it's the brand? Is quaife better or is it at this power level we need more of an efficient wheel/tire suspension?

This is to be expected in the cold with any performance tire.

Of course and I understand that. When I say cold.. I am referring to socal temps as in 50-60degrees.

Even at 50-60 that is still not warm enough for a good summer tire in a correctly set up car.

PSS are good all around tires but when it comes to dry weather traction there are better tires for traction.

RE-11
AD08
RS3

All 3 of these tires perform better in dry warm temp's there are even a few others that do better.
