Default New street tire best for me (11.3 quarter vid)

I only put plates on the car two weeks ago. The car has more in it, I just have to get used to driving it, but God I love this beast. Why didn't I get one sooner?

Sorry, it says in the description the mods on the the YouTube channel. However, I forgot that you can't see the description from the YouTube channel here, lol. It only has a vararam cai, 160 stat, a tune from East Coast Supercharging, and street tires. It was an 11.3@126.9

Strong time for your setup.

My car is cam/bolt-ons (562whp) and went 11.43 @ 128.x on 345/30/19 Michelin PSS.

What was your 60 ft and the temp/DA that day?

That's the timeslip two posts up from yours. The 60 foot was a 1.922 which I'm pissed about cause on a previous run I went 1.80. I'm running the same tires. The temp on Sunday here was between 55-60 degrees. I couldn't tell you the DA. I just got the tune, cai, and stat done on Friday and it dyno'd 496 rwhp. (But that was and extremely cold day, 35 degrees) The cold had to be at least 10hp on the dyno that day. I wish it was that cold when I ran.

I didn't find any Michelin tires in the size above. Is it a PSS, a PS2? is it 325/30-19, 345/30-19, 335/25-20 or something else? I know Nitto makes a 335/30-19, I had some NT05's in that size, but no Michelins.

EDIT: I guess from another post that your tires were M PSS 345/30-19.

I'm sorry, my bad. I'm at work and I got confused from a previous post, but it's defiantly a 345/30 19. I have to get back to you when I get home which Michelin it is though. I'm trying to look through pics on my phone if I can see it, but I can't make out witch ones they are.
