  • New tire baggage

    When I upgraded to my new tires (275/40/17) from my old tires (245/50/16), I noticed that I can't spin the tires like i used to :( .When I try to spin them now I get A LOT of tire hop. WTF?? :mad: Will a torque arm or some other sort of suspension take care of this problem? Oh, my new tires are the 712 Ecsta Kumho's and my old tires were Goodyear GSC's.Any ideas .

    well man you got more meat on the ground.. more friction.. thus you aren't going to have an easy of a time breaking them loose..

      Lower trailing arms will help against wheel hop
