Well, I know I had TONS of traction issues with my current wheel/tire setup on my EF4 setup making 600-630whp. But I was dumping it at like 6k rpms and spinning through 1st/2nd.

So I am guessing part of that issue was driver error but it made me think I need some better tires too.

And as far as tire diameter, I am not super concerned there as I built my motor to rev, so I will just run 4th out until i pass the line, which should be 9000 or less.

I am debating about doing a final drive eventually here as well but that is future stuff. I also am not going to be making as much power as before on the next setup (most likely). I am going to target 550-600whp with stock like spool. So hopefully launching will be easier. I will also do boost by gear stuff to keep low gears at lower power to help with noobness.
