For a v6 car that I only drive, don't race at all. Would the traction be bad on rainy days?

Re: Would these tires be ok?

several things

1) the OP in the thread you linked is asking for way too much money for what he has.
2) if you're going to drop that type of cash for those wheels/tires, then you better be using them for what they're designed, i.e. racing
3) In the rain, your car will have all the grace of a fat kid rollerskating on marbles

awesome self quoting skills. haha

sound pretty expensive to me. If you want the rims, I'd buy em seperate so you don't have to get those unnecessary tires. It might look like a good deal...but not if thats not EXACTLY what you are looking for.

Ok thanks, but wouldn't it be cheaper to get rims and tire together?

And the OP of the thread dropped the price to $899

^still too much for something that only meets half your needs. Don't get suckered in by all those new prices he lists for two reasons...one, he isn't Tomzwheels or Summit/jegs, and two, the stuff he's selling isn't brand new

Well I guess your right. Those tires look like the will spin like crazy. Can't find a good set of rims and tires.

in the rain, yes...on dry surface, that won't be the case

exactly right, dry pavement they will have good traction, more surface area touching the ground the less your chances of spinning.

That, and they're damn ET Streets that would be slapped on a stock V6...his car isn't strong enough to break that traction; he'd bog if he tried to

What are good tires for a v6 then? Right now I have Traction TAs.

Re: Would these tires be ok?

I think if you had a high horsepower F-body that you wanted to dragrace and only drive on beutiful days then I'd get them but for an everyday driver no way. You'll end up sliding off road and put car in a ditch at first drop of rain
