Maybe because of TT's extra efficiency (as opposed to an ST) one will have to push slightly less PSI to achieve same flow needed to create X amount of power...
Who knows...

Ive been running on a new tire (well new for me) and seems to be doing really well. I still spin 1st and 2nd if I really try. Granted im still less than 1k on my turbo kit, so alot of it is still learning to drive it. Anyway, here is my setup:

18x10 275/40/18 rear on Sumitomo HTR Z II's
18x9.5 245/40/18 front on Sumitomo HTR Z II's

Great for dry but pretty sketchy in the wet.

You gotta pay to play in this game~ $200 is worth the money if it gives you the traction that you need~

^^^WTF? I love my KDW2's, while their may be much more expensive better for dry performance only tire options they are far from junk. Its a spinfest for me in the winter (with any tire) but in the summer I was hooking up in 2nd gear with "bad" rear camber-yeah real $hitty....

Ok maybe junk was a little harsh. If you are hooking up then maybe tires arent the issue here, possible really bad camber?
