tire question for you guys

vegasspeed · 03-17-2009, 05:52 PM

If I switch from RFTs to a Dunlop Direzza SS Z1 tire will that help out my launch a fair amount for drag racing? I don't do it very often but I was hoping it would help with driving from a dig vs. someone.

Im guessing it should since it does have softer sidewalls rather then those ridiculous RFT sidewalls.

You'll definitely be happy with the Z1 SS's! Grip is great for the price.

That and the Sport Z1SS is stickier than the OEM tires. I would expect a noticeable improvement in launch.
