97 eclipse RS cai,gutted cat,gs-tmuffler 15.65@89 mph i have the nittos and love the way they perform. as far as heating up on the street the only time i get tire spin is when you just get on the road and the tires are cold you get a little spin in first and a chirp in second. once you've riden on them for about five -ten minutes there good to go. wiht my factory tires iwould spin allthe way through first a liitle in second and then chirp third. with the drags (street use) i can lauch from a red light at 3500-4000 rpm and only get very,very,very small amount of spin in first and not even a chirp in second. (at the drag strip) this is where they really shine, drop the psi to 22 drive through the water box and stop on dry pavement, pull up the e-brake once you start the burnout it only last about 4-5sec max and the tires start grabbing and dragging the rear end of the car, once they start grabbing i stop drop the e-brake do one dry hop then stage. when the third yellow light hits i dump the clutch at 5000 rpm and all i get is a chirp and i'm gone . there is no wheelspin at the track. feels like your lauching in a awd. just my .02 hoped it helps alittle. if your boostn you'll prob get a little more wheelspin then i did because of the extra power.
