Its better to be able to switch over if you actually drive your car more than 25 miles :rotfl:

PSSSHH, I bet I drove my car more than you did last year

(UN) Limited? power

That's very flattering, but you'll notice my car is a Buick Regal (LIMITED)! The limited does refer to the power. I run 15 inch wheels. The ones I use for the street tires are 8.5 wide. The tires I can fit are 275 / 50 / 15. I like the 50 series because they allow more clearance that the taller 60 series. The height is 26 inches for the 50s compared to 28 tall for the 60s. There is not alot of room for a tire in my rear wheel well. I'm not inclined to cut or trim the lips or do any other surgery to make more room. I'll just have to settle for what I can fit. Street or strip, we are all traction limited. Another application for the name on my car.

I've tried Nitto's and had no luck at all on my FWD barge. Pirelli P6000's work okay (they spin, but usually catch-unlike the Nitto's). Tried M/T ET streets last fall and had good luck. Dead hooked on the street at 15 lbs. and usable to 23 lbs.

Nittos

Brett. I think the Nittos are only as good as they can initially hook with. I have had similar problems with them. They seem to lack the ability to grab after you get em spinning.
