I got 560whp and on the fly my rear tires loose traction everytime between
3k-5k RPM. I run Yokohama 295/30/19.

what can I do to have more traction ?

will LSD or different tires help ?

 

Run a better tire, Yokohama's arent the best around. If you have that much HP, you need a tire to match. Try the Michelin PS2's or some BFG KDW's

Welcome to the world of "Driving on Ice"....

LSD will help....but I have Yokohama Advans 303x25x20 and its worthless after 3000 miles

Just search....there is a thread that was just discussing this subject.

I will look for it and post it for you....but I am sure someone will find it first.

Good luck

 

Toyo R888, there is a thread in the FI section i think, Shariff@Forged was testing them out.

There you go.

 

i run 295 bf drag radials...they work great...also i would suggest the nitto drag radials if u have to deal with a bit of rain imo...

 

Thanks.

 

To help a little... Yokohama's are not the tires you want to be running with higher power. Pff, you don't want to run Yokohama's even with 200rwhp.

 

Mr. A at VRT got me those before his company went down, now I know why.

 

Is your roadster white?

 

yes it's........please don't tell me they came from your car.

 

I think I met you last year @ the Stillen open house. You were parked on the curb right by the yellow widebody G. I think you said you just had your hood installed?

 

LOL, No. I would have never brought it to VRT

 

yep, you had the new single turbo at the time.

 

Yeah sort of... I was there with the owner of the car. It was nice meeting you! Your car was the first roadster, that really made me want a PPW Roadster. Glad to see you get your car straight now!

 

Check the rear camber and make sure is not too extreme. -1.2 deg seems to be the prefered camber setting for those with straight line traction issues. I have a set of R888s on order for my car.

 

i dont run that much power but i was breaking loose at 60mph no problem on 275's I ended buying the nitto drag radials, not 100% but way better!!

 

When I had my rear camber moved to -1.2 from -1.6 my traction improved quit a bit, I never thought that small of a change could help that much. I'm still running Nitto NT555'S, my second set, all around a pretty good tire for a daily driver. I got 40K miles on the last ones.
