When I had 607rwhp the 305/30-19 Michelin PSS's would hold 2nd. Now at 719rwhp they don't hold 2nd even when you start with traction. Once it hits about 4200ish rpm it blows the tires off if I'm wide open throttle. I'm going to try R888's next.

Well screw it then. I'll get some 325/30-19 PSS's for daily tires and put some NT05R's or Mickey's on another set of wheels for organized Mexico runs.
