i never said anything about sidewall size lol just wider/stickier

 

sidewall is just as important.

 

i wouldnt know wat sidewall to recommend i dont drag race, i just know gettin new tires that were wider helped me not spin as much in 1st

 

I just got a set of d/r's and drove around on them for a week or so..

.. talk about a night and day difference!

However, when the car's not fighting for traction and the tires aren't slipping.. it makes me feel like i have no power.... even if it's pulling like a s.o.b

 

well, I mentioned the KDW2's because they are relatively cheap for a decent street tire. The best choice would be something with some cushion, but that's hard to get on a 18" wheel and fit in a cobalt wheel well. I was just trying to recommend something cheap and affordable, yet something he could still drive around on the street.

 

drew are you seriously missing the fact im not even referring to sidewall size?

 

^rofl, not hard for poor drew to not know what the hell you are talking about, he's still learning man. Take it easy on the west-coaster.

 

i know hes learning, but thats what frustrates me. if you are learning, dont try and preach.

 

I feel ya.

 

lol i just said get wider tires than stock. im so lost stu ahahah

 

Just wider tires isn't going to do it.

 

ik im not sayin the exact size like 215/35/18 like u said just 225 or 235/xx/xx
if he doesnt want to use slicks or dr's and just use one set of tires

 

you can hit 12's as it sits. just need bigger nuts and less caution.

you have seen my car run in the 12's fresh off the street without taking pressure out of the tires, or weight out of the car.

 

chances are you have way more track time than this guy too though

 

that i do. or the fact that i use way too much power to do what i do.

::shrugs::

 

yea, I just don't think this guy can do it. he's just too far off on the ET. Better off buying some sticky tires.
