#475, "RE: Can you spin or chirp you tires?" In response to In response to 2
I have some Kumho Z-rated tires with the 280 treadwear whatever so mine are pretty sticky. I also have the stock 16" Oz wheels for the '99GS. I haven't broken them loose on dry pavement except on launches, but last night it was raining and my wife was driving and we were rolling about 25mph and I told her to stomp it and when she did the fuckers just started spinning and spinning. After a couple seconds I got scared and was gonna tell her to let off but it got to redline and shifted and then caught traction again. It pissed me off cause I wanted to do it. But I like her to have fun too with it cause she doesn't bitch about me working on the car all the time.
