I'm after a tyre that doesn't do that, so I can get into fourth and get some reasonable 1/4 mile times.
its not just tyres that will affect you wheel spinning
if your boost comes in with a bang even the best tyres will spin up
its a combination of many things
Is fairly progressive, starts coming on about 2900 and pulls smoothly all the way around to past 7000. It's probably the torque that does it though. The car will spin up wildy at 90 mph if you change down to third on a damp motorway and floor the throttle.
