I ran the azienis this weekend and man they are sticky as hell. How did you launch your car to get that good of a 60'. I slipped and then droped my clutch at 5000 and only got a best of 2.4. The tires barely spun. Not used to this fwd dragging thing.

I have used Nitto street legal 205-55-14s way back about three years ago.
Ok at the track and on the street.

NEVER EVER use them in the rain!!!
Lets just say I did more spin outs 360s and reverse 360s then I care to remember going into a turn a 70MPH on the highway, just about ate the wall about three or four times in less then a 5 second time frame bringing the car to a stop. :o

nittos are awesome in the rain. My buddy used them as rain tires for autox and placed better than ever in the dry.
