I'll put it this way I have tried everything aside from rubbing lard all over them to get them to break free. Going 80 into a 90* turn, didn't budge, driving over gravel, stayed true... Hell the only thing that really defeats them is either a standing start, or VDC off start.

I have video's of each too. They do leave behind a great streak though.
