Nice choice! I run the same tire setup in the rear at the track. I used to run on them everyday but I have 19's for "show" now

Nice runs too!

i've run the same 60ft times on true street 19" toyo t1r's so d/r's or r compounds are not needed unless you want into the 1.6's.

obviously that should be true but i think it has more to do with launch technique and track prep. with fair to decent prep i cut mid 1.7's to low 1.8's all day long...with good prep 1.71's.

as soon as summer's over i'll get to practice with d/r's and see what happens.

Thanks for you answers man

So even you have 275/35 on18 on the rear which is bigger diameter then 275/30 19 you still have those amazing times...

I was afraid that my 1/4 times would be worse with 285/30 vs 275/30...

So what is the Enzoms launching technique ??? No pre-load just WOT...

Yep.. Foot on the brake (barefoot I believe). Light turns green, take you foot off the brake, place it on the gas pedal and go..

You need to learn not to smash throttle, the car will give you plenty wait for traction then hammer. Heat the tire for 15-20 seconds prior to your run. Your car should do 11.7
