Even with drag radials, I believe you still have to do a burn out in order to heat them up to get any traction. I do on my nittos anyway.

yoko advan A048's. I used them with VX's and even in the rain I got traction. I heard the Hankook RS2's are supposed to be pretty good.

Alignment > tire selection at this juncture, grasshopper. A 3" drop is where the traction isn't, my friend.

Im pretty sure my alignment was ----, as I have some bad camber wear on the azenis

Do you think with just a good alignment the new azenis would be good enough?

like JD said , you need to get your alignment in check. since an alginment is in order dont buy the tires yet because you might not have to.

i have no experience w/ azenis but from watching other people, even 200hp road course cars have a hard time hooking up coming out of corners onto the straights

Get a camber kit and a alignment done then put some drag radials on.
