The T1S' are very sticky. I'll be lucky if I get 20k miles out of them though. how about some details about your race?

I can do decent burnouts w/the T1S' Depending on the street surface I'd say it's a good 10-15 foot burnout. Spinning the tires @ WOT throttle is a good thing (to an extent) in order to get the revs up.
Come on Steve! Give us the details on that race!! Sounds like you got slaughtered

run 25-27psi on some 225s....and you'll make up a lot on the launch especially on the street....and once you overcome the fact that the WRX is probably .5 quicker off the line...you'll charge on his Scoobie and shoot past him.....and leave that WTF!! look on his face...

Slap on a set of D.O.T approved drag radials and try to start from a roll. If the wrx is stock you should be able to pull on him. If he/she is highly modded then just pretend you weren't really racing.

Yep, that's what I'd slap on. The nitto 555R's are some sticky ass tires. You could probably get them to fit on your wheels. Ideally speaking though, you'd want to put them on a set of 8" wide wheels. I know the thinnest wheel they recommend is a 7.5" though.
