You speak the truth.
The new Bridgestones grabbed so hard on my first burnout after engine upgrades, that I smoked the clutch.

1st gear spun the tires...
...2nd gear stuck the tires and turned my Vette into a Cheech & Chong outtake.

Another thing I forgot to mention, these damn tire shops try to get by without balancing on trailers. Drives me nuts, Joe Tire Guy behind the counter telling me they don't need it. Do not let them give you that spiel, make them balance them.

Sydwayz, did the same thing in first on the GFs 07 in first gear.
