Re: spinning the tires in 1st

I could do that with street tires.

275 Nittos and I have to use the brake to get em going.
Street tires........forget it.

Re: spinning the tires in 1st

Does anyone else have 17 ZR1's on their Z28? I'm running michelin pilot's z-rated. They are alot heavier and depending on conditions I'm lucky if i get a spin at a 10-15 mph hammer drop. Usually just grabs and goes. I'm assuming the weight of the rim and wide tires make a huge difference. Is this normal? Good year 245's no problem in 1st and catch in 2nd.

I've got Pirelli 245/40R18s with mods below. They grab big time because I only spin in 1st gear.
