Mine did the same thing when I used a set of MT Sportsman Pros. Talk about a scary feeling. No brakes + a way loose car = soiled undergarments.

Its completely different launching on those rather than launching on drag radials. My best 60' on those things tonight was a 1.98. I have pulled 1.95 on street tires....so I don't know whats up with that. I went 13.0 on my first run of the night and nearly **** my pants. The car feels like you are floating when you're up around the 100 mph on those tires. When I went to step on the brakes after the traps, I only had half my braking power cause my ABS sensor was going nuts. The ET streets are taller than my front street tires, therefore it causes a discrpancy in wheel speed between front and rear wheels. When I stepped on the brake pedal, it shoved it right back at me because the car was afraid the back tires would lock up I guess.....either way, when the car shoves the brake pedal back at you at 110 mph, on tires you don't feel comfortable on, it can be a little nerve racking. Just gonna need some getting use to on these tires and I'll have my 12.7 I'm sure.
