The drag strip is like sniffing glue, it's cheap, it's a decent buzz, it doesn't last long and they are all the same.
Road racing is like China White Heroin, the buzz is stronger, the high lasts for hours, it's extremely addictive and they are all different.
I can't wait for my next
Track fix.

Didn't say they didn't do well in the rain. Said they didn't do AS WELL. It all depends on what you're comparing. Every comparison I read and there were A LOT, said the DWS's ran away from the PSS's in the rain. It was reversed in the dry though.

"Ran away"?

Those are strong words...

I also would not suggest two different brands of tires front to rear. The 'puter does not really like it.

Guys, I have been through two sets of Invo's to the one set of PSS' in a year. I run Invo's for my street tires and my PSS are my dedicated track tires now. Invo's are good if you can't afford the PSS but the PSS last longer and are stickier. Again, all my opinion.

I did gain 6-7 seconds at my track, Autobahn, just by changing from the Invo's to PSS. Well, rims too but you get the idea.

Haha, thanks for having faith in me. I may not be familiar with different tire brands but I did do my own cam, ls3 conversion, and converter install myself lol.


Well, now I cant decide between PSS's or Motivos. (I know they dont compare performance-wise) I need to get some mileage out of them, but def need more traction than I am getting with the P zeros. Just spent a ton and cant really justify all that money on tires right now.

I am getting wheels next year, so ill be able to go wider then.
Or just get the wheels I like and then get a set of drag wheels and slicks for track duty.

You could do what I did. Get the rims/tires and then put DR's on the stockers. Plus, if you are getting rims next year save your money for good tires on those.

This is a really cool video.....

It does since Matt used it to tune mine out. I'm not sure if it can be accessed directly from the handheld though.
