Tyre Strech

[r32gtr92]

Hey guys,

Recantly bought some new rims and tyres,17x9's at the rears, now previously when ihaf my old rims on my car (standard r32gtst rims) i used to be able to put my foot down and not realy break traction till a really hight rpm.

Now with these mags as soon as boost seems to come on i just start skatinng like full on wheel spin, however i did notice once the tyres did warm up a bit there was more traction.

Keep in mind ;

- tyres hqvent been on a car for 6months to a year.

Would the problem here be to much tyre strech ? Size = 235mm on 9inch wide rim, or is it shity old hard tyre?

Cheers.

In a rectangular block (with perhaps rounded ends) on the side wall of the tyre there are usually 4 digits.

The last two digits tell you the year of manufacture.

Couldnt quite find it, will have a better look tomoro.

Do you rekon tyre stech has much to do with it or the rubber has just got hard and thats causing the non traction issue.

What brand are the tyres? If they are cheap no names, there is your problem...

235 on a 9" rim is fine, I run Kuhmo KU31's in that size with good traction.

235 on a 9 isn't stretch.
