  • Kumho questions...

    Just got some 255/50's and I have noticed that they do break a bit around hard turns and I can even spin them off the line, more than my 235's??? IS it just me or do these things like to make noise and not leave marks? I usually will spin for like 10 feet off the line but when i go bak over the same spot ther are no marks? these tires are like 3 days old, am I just wearing off the "new tire stuff" and will they begin to get a bit more sticky as time goes on?? I kinda like the way they squeal around turns, but hopefully its not destroying my tires, doesnt loo like it. So the question out of all this? Will they get more grippy? or do i need to heat them up alot before i race??

    They will get more sticky over time. they don't leave marks though, which is better in case you get caught flooring it.

      Yeah, I didn't like mine at first until I did a 150 round trip on the highway. Maybe it was less. Now I love them. Big difference from when I first left the tireshop that mounted them. Hadn't tried to launch in them yet, because of new gears getting broke in.

        Yeah, after about 500 miles, they're totally awesome tires! Don't expect to be leaving 25 foot tire marks like you could with your Goodyears; these things hook up very quickly.
