With the OEM Goodyear Supercar Runflats, if I hit the gas it just blows the rear tires off...all spin no go.. Being that I drag race almost every weekend I have a set of Drag Radials mounted, and have gotten to the point where I don't even bother changing the DR to the street tires... I leave the Nitto DR on all the time, & I think I'll get a full season out of them..
Of course after racing season ends (November) I'll put the OEM tires back on for the winter months, although I only take it out on sunny days with DRY roads. but still use the OEM tires in 20 deg weather, but drive it like a person my age should (69 yrs old
)I find I get good traction with the Nittos on the street, and never have to worry about spinning if I do get a little "aggressive" once inawile...
I was going to go to a 3200 converter & trans cooler, but then it will be more $$ expensive .... I'll need more expensive DR like MT or Hoosier.. DR and have to buy 2 sets a season...

Just wondering what happens if you "stab" the gas from a stop... I only ask because I have an 05 (A4) with Kooks Headers, Cartek Tune, and Vararam..

Well let's put it this way... I changed my tires to NT05's because my wheels would break loose at 70. It's much better now, but I drive really careful on wet roads.
