Go and buy Hankook S1 Evo.
No spin with 255 S1 Evo.
If they are cold (like 20°C) squeak a little bit - if they are hot, they have very much grip.
With my 245 bridgestones i got much wheelspin. When the transmission shift in second, i got also wheelspin.
Go and buy good tyres, michelin, s1evo etc, and you wouldnt have wheelspin with 32 and 55, only the temperature is low (under 15°C).

Today we played with the car a bit and even after a reset the car could barely spin it's wheels, just a slight spin and off it goes.
Question, this car used to be run on nitrous ( I found evidence...lol )...do you guys think the previous owner could have retarded timing somewhat for the nitrous? What's the expected timing advance on this engine?
I also noticed that at WOT the TPS would only go to a maximum of 80%...is this normal?

I think go to your trusted dyno and slap the girl on there... That will be your questions answered for sure, if it is under performing... Good luck. Interesting one.

Sounds like the car was probably tuned for nitrous, then sold the car, removed the nitrous and left the tune the way it was.
Have Eurocharged re-tune the car.
