Tires with Whipple Stage 1

[Ruin0263]

Maybe my Whipple wasn’t set up right . I can bury the throttle from like a 20mph roll and it doesn’t break the tires loose. Either I’m not making near the amount of torque I should …..or it’s the traction control and I don’t realize it. I don’t see any flashing warnings come on the dash like the traction control is limiting power.

On stock performance pack tires btw

Your TC has to be or you're making 0 boost or running 0 timing

The stock tires will go up in smoke on the highway

I had ps4s in 275/40/19 do nothing but make smoke. I would leave 11’s even with TC on.
I’m now running nitto 555g2 in a 305/35/19 they grip better but I am still spinning them with TC on. Especially in sport mode, however the car feels faster in a straight line

Most of the time I’m not going faster than 140kph. I imagine traction would be much better if I floored it starting at 75mph

Tbf most days here it’s below 90f. Usually below 80 too.

after these are gone I might go back to a wider Michelin, like a 335. The nittos aren’t great at cornering and braking.
