Best ways to control traction

The RE-11s do not hook at the dragstrip at all. They dont hook in the corners either, unless heated up well. Not really impressed and my car makes only 300 whp.

The MT ET street SS in 285/18 on the rear at 25 psi, are quite simply amazing in the corners. These are not typical soft side wall bias ply drag tires, they are short sidewall radials. The MT tire does very well at the dragstrip too. It requires no burnout at the track, or on the street. My car is very stable and perfectly comfortable with the MT ET street SS on the street, they just dont last very long.

My ET streets have about 100 1/4 mile runs on them and 2600 street miles. They are nearly to the wear bars now.

To hook, you need a soft tire compound and a good suspension set up. Few street tires have a soft compound.
