Thanks for all the opinions and experiences. It would be awesome if they were AWD when you want and RWD when you don't!! So how soft are these stock tires, soft enough that a rock was buried in my tread when I got home and when I pulled it out it left a indentation fairly deep in the tread....

I have the a&a kit installed and tires break loose easily in first second and third gears. I think if it were hot outside hits gear would not be so bad but my car has a lot of torque.

My 21" 375s hook surprisingly well for rubber bands but it all just depends on your end game. I run DRs around when it's game on to hold down 800hp. I'm running those on custom 18x11" drag wheels. Let me know if I can help.

With 570 rwhp I can find traction on a good dry road.

You will get a ton of opinions on this. Tire temp, pressure, road temp, condition, surface, cleanliness, wear on tires, power level will all vary. Spinning a little maybe fine to one person but not to another. Any of the 550+rwhp cars can probably light them up at will in first. Centri or PD will have enough to overpower the tires at that level which is why I'm not a huge fan of PD blowers. The advantage of more low end just translates into more tire smoke in my experience.

Now that the weather has cooled down, tire bite at 40 to 50 degrees road temps on the C7 is worse than C6 with Goodyears I have found! Probably the torque but bad enough to make me think the tire is some of it too! Michelins are still my choice.
