Squishy as hell. Death trap on the highway.

After they get broken in they are great.
Almost as good as Yoko avs es100's that I used to buy.

I had the same kind of tires, they are good after a bit ;)

Wouldnt you be dissapointed if you knew better was possible ?

Exactly.

BTW I dont think I can do MUCH better on launch with these shitty tires.
So I wouldnt call the launch shitty.

I'd be happy with a mid 13 run ;)

Good luck with getting everything together and done though :D

Better's not possible until you do a bit more work to the car - stop yer bitchin'!

You'd be surprised what you can get launch-wise when you fiddle the suspension a little. Stack a few hockey pucks over the rear struts so that you have no rear suspension travel, and use cable straps or chain to limit front LCA travel. Slip the clutch forever in first. I bet you can hit 1.9x on shitass $25/pop 175/70R13 with practice - I've seen a stock LS swap into a gutted 90 DX do as much without the suspension tweaking, pulling STi/Evo/LS1 down the 1/8th consistently.
