Anyone have problems with wheel spin?

I think you would seriously benefit from some wider tires if you are trying to get the best launch possible. In my opinion the stock rear tire is lacking.

It's a pretty big tire Clemson, but do you notice the camber on them? It seems like they're riding on the inside of the tire itsself. Now, of course, this is great for handling. Tradeoffs, you know?

I can only think of one situtation where an extra inch of rubber really counts. Tire material will give you better results than simply changing the tire size.
