I definitely have plans for more go in the future, likely a Vortech setup. Will have to raise my car 1/2" or just get bags....haha.

I got these. http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...w=false&cs=245
I also had Falkens 912s before and I had the same problem even before the rear differential bushing blew. Those had a traction rating of AA and were soft.

The ones I did the video on are gone now and I had 60% left before the video. 2nd gear ate them more than 1st because I stopped going from a dead stop because it was kind of pointless.

nankangs are rated decent, but they're really not that decent bro. I had them on 350z 18s if I remember before and even my AWD chirped them, thats rare. cause 1st gen AWD barely chirps or spins anything.
You need stickier tires.

I just got 2 new rear tires installed, 245/40/18, same as front. Paid $30 to have them mounted and balanced in the rear and balance the front ones.

Next is a ceramic clutch and flywheel, Nismo pivot ball and Nismo roller bearing and I'll be off to the drag strip.

I supervised the whole process.

Right after I changed the tires it rained a bit and froze later that night turning into black ice for the first time this year. I was at my second job site and only stayed 40min instead of 5 hours and left. I was very lucky, a lot of people and truckers got stuck on the freeways last night. I saw a few cars crashed and one flipped over coming home.

Black ice.
