Re: got some new tires

You cant break traction with these tires? Something wrong with your car or it's not a 350.

Re: got some new tires

really dont want to burst your bubble but I have the exact same tires with less than 4000 miles on them and they break loose very very easily. pulling out of a stop sign just giving a very small amount of throttle , you can hear them start to squeal. They also get SUPER noisy once you get a couple miles on them.
I thought my rear-end was completely gone because it started whining hardcore, them a changed out my rear tires for old ones and there was no noise.

All the reviews I've read also suck.

But maybe you got lucky or something, hopefully.
If not they'll be getting noisy once you put some miles on, and they get louder as they age.

That's good, I really hope that somehow you got a good set because I know mine and most other people's have had major issues.

Well, at least they have a good looking tread pattern.
