Default Wow. Mickey Thompson ET street SSJustin time for my East Coast supercharger to be put

2002 Chevy Corvette, tune, long tube headers, no cats And Borla exhaust. 2007 z06 factory wheels with stock tires all the way around. Car was very fun the drive but scary. The Michelin run flats were original with the car that they came off of so 11 years old. Just mounted the Mickey Thompson tires on and holy **** what a difference. I now cannot break the tires loose. Traction control off 1000 RPM launch or even from an idle for punch these tires will not break loose. 305-35-19 Is the size. I’m blown away at the difference. Running 30 psi. Justin time for my East Coast supercharger to be put in by the end of this week. But WOW

Nice to have the traction, but will be interesting to see how they do with the supercharger.

What’s your set up. I’m worried once I get the supercharger on I’m going to start breaking drivetrain parts I have an automatic with a 315 rear

I have the same size on my car, they will easily hold the power you are shooting for from a roll... from a dig they might spin a tad but shouldn't be too bad at that power level

Just a bit 'o spin will get your revs/boost up faster, too. Good gears for a SC A/T car. You will probably be looking at a stall converter in your future for best E.T.s, but I would recommend a trans brace if you're gonna track it much.
