I had mine put on, backed out of the tire shop, did a 50' 2nd gear burnout across their whole parking lot while all the employees watched.

Was good times.

I've really liked them the whole time, after I left the place it started to rain and I was concerned cause I had to drive on the Michigan interstates to get home, but they seemed to perform very similar to my Fuzion ZRi's in the rain, and so they did just fine.

Everyday they do the best job they can of handling 600whp and 4.10s, so 1st/2nd burnouts, whether 3rd is a giant burnout or not is kinda hit and miss depending on road surface and temperature, so I'd say that's pretty good for only a 285 with a 35 profile.

lmao no video.

I needed to do it cause I bought them in the US, and wanted to make them look used before I came back over.

Also, I wanted to get the molding lubes off the surface and get to the real rubber ASAP.

Alllllso, the guy who did the tires for me had a stang, and he stayed late to get them put on for me, so he appreciated the show
