I wish I had this problem...

 

Another famous grippy tire brand is Yokohama's Advan. This tire is famous among drifters in japan.. It kind of sounds like an oxymoron putting grippy tire and drifting together... but apparently drifting in grippy tires give drivers the control of how much they want to slide and an ability to correct errors in a split second...

 

i used to think the same. "how cool would it be to have so much power u can spin ur tires whenever u want". but once u get it, its ur worst nightmare i hate it

 

yeah it just leaves you not sure if you can floor the gas or not cause the instant traction is lost and the engine tries to shoot towards redline in revs, you gotta get off the gas

 

You'll do much better with some more camber. It won't completely solve your traction issues, but you'll notice a difference.

 

You mean less camber. And yeah, I'd suggest getting some rear camber arms, but it won't solve your traction issues. I'm running -.8 deg camber and I still spin through 1st and 2nd. The only time I ever get traction in 1st and 2nd on street tires is if I'm on a prepped drag strip and slip the clutch heavily...

 

Sorry, meant to say that .

 

Well I guess either could be right as you could say "less negative camber", or "more positive camber". Whatever works.

 

The W stands for wet, and yes, it is a rain tire (all season). There are MUCH better tires out there besides the KDW.

 

i didnt know that, i asked around and everyone said this are the best u can get unless u want to spend 200 dollar extra on each tir for michelins, so thats why i got this

 

bfg KD is stickier than KDW and PS2

 

bfg makes one tire in 285-35-zr19 and that is the kdw g force no kd

 

KDW2's are nice tires. With 400whp/tq to the wheels and -2.0 degrees rear camber I hooked up from 1st with 285's. OP-I suggest getting some SPC camber rods and eccentric toe bolts, re-doing the alignment(try to run as little negative camber as possible) and seeing how it works out for you. While you have to get used to launching in 1st gear with the power you should have no issues with the above mentioned combo. Good luck to you.

 

thanks, i jsut ordered my camber kit today, im doing some research right now on different pumpkins see if that effects anything or if i should change mine i dont know anything about that yet lol.

 

A 3.3FD (auto Z) would make your gears longer and not multiply TQ as much as the 3.5 now. While it would likely make it easier for you to hook up I dont feel for your kit (powerful but not crazy) that it would be ideal in dealingwith traction. Post up before/after alignment specs when you have them I think that will make a big difference for you.

 

i hope so, my traction is really really bad but my camber is also really bad so will see how the kit works out

 

So, I hear you got new tires to run me this weekend.

APS ST vs. APS TT

 

yeah i think the 1k im gonna take from you will pay for it and my hks ssqv bov

 

Keep trying to be my mirror image.

 

I am very sorry for taking the thread off topic. I also do not want to turn this into a flame war, so please behave.

If the single turbo people are having so much traction issues in the first 2 gears, what is the practical advantage of running twins on stock motors with non-drag tyres?

I am just curious, no plans to do anything like that to my Z.
