Good Friend of mine just purchased an evo9 about a month ago , sweeet car , great all around really . So of course we ran lol .

First Roll:
then about a week later , linked up with a newfound friend , added some basic mods and HPtuned her !

Second Roll:

So , to all my fellow SS/TC owners , whats the sweet spot for tuned balts ? what works best fo r us ? the difference is night & day between the stock and custom tune ! i dont regret a cent paid for the tune ! i need some advice , should i just start going from 3rd in rolls ? feather the gas in 2nd ? I gotta get driving with this tune down to my advantage

 

40mph roll in second gear is the best

^this
Dont feather it just punch it and ride out the sspinning and then get better tires

 

Any tires you recommend ?

 

Jesus that car came up fast on the last video.

Be safe man.

2nd at 40 as said.

 

that's what i was thinking!

 

Depends on your needs
Summer tire star specs nitto 555
All season contact dw Bridgestone ppp
Cheap general tire makes a decent uhp all season

Edit:
And by the way the other guys say be safe because that was not safe not for you the evo the guy both of yall were way too close to or the guy about to pull out
Don't get somebody dead over a race find an empty street

 

Summer tires, nitto NT05s hands down.
All year round, Theres a ton of choices.

Nt05!

 

Thanks .usually its empty . But I know we seen him up the street he didn't just pop up outta nowhere . My lane was open and I was expecting him to slow down but he went around . Im no evel kinevel ive been through worse than that ...I know.

 

I live in Cali , so its summer pretty much 85% of the year lol I have all seasons now though , may make the switch

 

I have Dunlop Direzza 235's, love the tires but still spin from 40

 

Get continental extreme summer dw. U will not be disappointed. I went from spinning threw second on tune with stockers to not spinning at all with those

 

You guys talk about new tires lol, I go on craigslist, and just buy used tires, so far the best traction ive got was with some cheap ass china tires, that I picked up all 4 for $60 bucks lol

 

Also depends what HP and TQ levels we are talking about. Not a lot of tires will hold in 2nd when you get over 300wtq

 

I still have brand-new tires on the Cobalt. Im talking about the gto. These tires I got were 60 bucks no names. And they hook super well from a dig or roll. Tire temp they say is 240 for best traction. In the rain, all I do is slide around, cause they suck in the rain, but o well. Cant complain for $60 lol

 

My Pirellis hold decent through second, but still a bit of slip with 315whp. Gotta ease the throttle on.

 

thanks , ima look those up ! I really dont need any all seasons out here in cali as i only really see rain , and thats not so often .

 

I spin on continental extreme DWS. I think I will make the switch to the summer tire lol.

 

You would spin cause of torque.

So from 40mph you drop it in second and punch it to the floor?

SS/SC here..

 

Pretty much. I don't think there is much difference betwee ss/sc and ss/tc in second gear.

 

On an LNF with bolt ons and a tune if you just punch it in 2nd you'll light the tires up. 360wtq~ will do that. I'm not sure what traction is like in the SC. Possibly a little more stable without the huge torque spike.
