Re: max traction (2000 Pewter Hardtop)
2000
I run the 17" M/T on the rear to and from the track about 150 miles round
trip. It is a little "twitchly" and with an A4 and my ST3500 converter the size differance is enough to unlock the converter over 70 mph. They have max traction. . . so much so that you can't roll them over to the car.. you have to carry them or they stick to the floor :lolg: :D
Good luck

Re: max traction (ALLTHROTTLE&NOBOTTLE)
May I please post a related question?
In C5 size, what is the stickiest tires in radials, yet safe in the rain? I love my Kumho Mx tires but soon will be at 400rwhp/rwtq (now, 350.4rwhp/363.8rwtq) w/G5X-3 Cam & Vig2800 TC mods being added at LGMotorsports next month.
BTW, I only want to own one set of tires for both street & every once in a great while track use.
TIA

Re: max traction (Cary)
IMHO Nitto drag radials, solid tread for rain and ya just heat them up good at the track to make them sticky :D
I am running BFG drs on the back.........but no tread = no fun in the rain :eek:
