I know nothing about tires... so... I am tired of not getting any traction whatsoever in first gear. I have a ss/sc with stage 2 and cannot push the throttle past half way with out completely losing traction (tires spin, rpm's redline, and I'm doing 20). I want some tires for year-round use that will allow me to accellerate in first gear... is this possible?

 

nope...too much torque in first, any tire will lose traction. And to be honest the stock pirellis are pretty nice tires. try a torque dampener, tires will still spin but it will keep them on the ground and they will grab faster....

 

Learn to drive? If you don't want to run D/R's, then I'd suggest Aziens(sp?) or KDW2's.

 

try the toyo t1r.. my friend has an 03 srt-4 with a set of those on it and the hook pretty well.. he still gets a little bit of spin with em but he's pushin about 17 psi with the turbo and it torques up really hard and it only spins when he revs up and dumps the clutch.. i'd say they good tires in my opinion..
or try the hankook ventus r-s2.. he had a set of those at one time to and they did a really good job of hookin..

 

mmm so sexy

 

Try getting someone to turn your boost down in 1st

 

but i think everyone can agree the stockers blow *****, if you want cheap ones my bro just picked up a new set of kuhmos from a firestone for about 450 with mount.

 

I'll second the KDW2/KDW NT

Lots of experience with those tires. Had em on my car, my best friend used em in his 05 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V w/ Brembo Package, as well as others that I've driven or ridden in. And wait till you engage your brakes.....wooohoo!
