Nozila Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Then take off in 2nd pretty sure you'd have enough torque for that!!depending on the road but traction is hard to get in 1st, 2nd and sometime even 3rd, big car, easy to handle mmmmmmm sideways!! it doesnt matter what road surface for some reason. I cant get traction at all in 1st and if i rev it too fast or start reaching 4k rpm and above the thing starts to go sideways/fishtailing. but damn i hate the wet in such a big car that is rwd although im sure others are the exact opposite of me and love the wet.

And what happens when you put it in 2nd after wheel spin for a couple of seconds? You must get a fare bit of tramp then, cos mine get plenty of wheel spin also and a whole heap of tramp(hate that feeling) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/14849-sa-wasteland/page/42/#findComment-1398033 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nozila Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 they just cover the width, thus no noticable streaching but i think i need 276's. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/14849-sa-wasteland/page/42/#findComment-1398051 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deluxe Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 they just cover the width, thus no noticable streaching but i think i need 276's. Nah dude streach is good especially on the rear, i have same wheels 8.5 front and 9.5 rear, and i run 235/40/18 all round, rears have good streach while not as much on front looks fat and it acctually used the wall of the tyre when up to a higher temp and getting a booting. Rear cradle bushes will help the axle tramp but then will be more happy to ass end out. Try changing gears just after it hits boost and somwhat feather the throttle off until wheelspin stops, see how that goes!! :Pimp2: Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/14849-sa-wasteland/page/42/#findComment-1398056 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nozila Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 who streched the tyres for one. as when i had to buy mine no who would do it - except dodgy workshops which i couldnt find, so had to go with what i just stated. those measurements reminds me of my friends car who has 235 streched over 10" width rims - you know who im talking bout sam we went for a thrash in his car.

Who ever won't streach tyres are soft, fair call if someone wants to streach 215 or 225 on that size rim, but 235 is streached but not that streched, Go see Dave at WheelWorx on South Rd just north of Anzacs, he can give you a good price on tyres and streach them if you want, tell him i sent you and he will sort you out anytime.
