:mad: im pissed i just got my ~~~ handed to me by a freakin talon cuz i couldnt keep power to the ground the moment i rolled into the pedal i could feel the rear end get squirrly, tried two runs with him and each time it was cuz i couldnt keep power down.
current set up
tires: toyo FZR pro comps 225 60 16
Air pressure 35 lbs

the tires are awesome in the rain and stuff but here in the idaho winters they leave a bit to be desired as far as traction. any ideas all help me out i dont wanna repeat tonight.
 
try somewhere b/w 28 and 32 psi in the tires... I have stock size 215/70R15 economy tires with 30psi and i have very little trouble hooking. (I have a 351 windsor and 5 speed, plenty of torque) if the talon was AWD, your never gonna be able to hook as well as that car.
 
couldnt tell but i know that our rides over power a stock talon with out even blinking but every time i put down the power the rear starts sliding sideways. and i have to back down so after two times i figured that we just was wasting time. so i flashed the highs and turned around and headed home. oh after the first time they was heated up plus i had driven about 10 miles before this.

Now this is somthing i can help out with Toyo's are not known for traction if you wanted somthing to get more Grib I would go with some Yokohama YK520 245 45 16 they should Get better grip after they warm up a little hope this helps
