My shitty stock tires spin like a mofo. Did you have VSA off? If not, that could be why they didn't burn up.

I have SO3's and can spin my wheels every single damn time. I hate how this car hooks up...or rather doesn't.

Maybe those who do w/ the stocks have under-powered engines...?

I raced a buddy of mine last summer and from a start I spun pretty badly and then chirped going into second. This was on stockers and with the vsa on.

Also try it from a slight roll, should get a pretty good spin and barking.

I always spin like crazy unless the road is nice and clean which in Boston is pretty much never. Very occasionally I chirp going into 2nd gear but not all the time. I look forward to stickier tires but don't want to just throw away the stock ones.

My stock Michelins spun like mad too. Maybe it's condition differences.
