I'm pretty sure they're designed with a really soft sidewall to let them bag up a little during launches. Which will translate to some really shitty cornering as the tyre tucks under the rim.

Also, remember that if you intend to do launches a lot, you'll probably fry the clutch (tyres won't spin, so something will have to give first, usually the clutch)

Not any other type in a street radial that i can tihnk of, if you know of any in a 305/45 or 315/45 let me know and if anything does brake im hoping its the gearbox.

Hi Nick. I don;t think I've ever felt as mechanically hopeless.... as during the time I just spent reading your thread. haha!
Mate you have magic in your hands. Well done. Great looking car - for my taste, especially in the lifecycle just before the orange wheels. Awesome work
Cheers
Nick
