Just kiddin ya. The problem with T/A's is they are so hard that they only provide traction on a heavy, low HP car. I had them on my car to begin with as a way to remind me when not to stick my foot in it. With the T/A's I couldn't get 3rd gear to hook up when I stuck my foot to the floor much less 1st or 2nd. Now I have the Billboards and don't think I could spin the tires in 3rd if I was trying.
I guess I should have qualified my statement that this is on a street driven car, as most are. Of course nobody runs T/A's on the track. I don't get any traction with them either but I don't drive like that "on the street". Sticky tires are great on the street if you don't mind blasting the paint of the sides of your car.
