I'm running 275/40/17 T1s's and I would say that the straightline traction is as good as half used 245/45/16 Tyoy RA1s (road legal race tyre). Plus traction in the wet is pretty impressive which is the thing you really need if you take your car out in the wet. Compared to my old Yokohama AVS S1z's they piss all over them, in the wet the yokos would let go as you please, I mean 3rd gear on motorways I could have traction control switching on for the whole of 3rd gear.. now I have trouble getting the T1s's unglued in 2nd gear. The Pole Position bridgestones have been around for a while.. don't know how they rate against the T1s's
: yoko A008P's or the BF gforce TA KD/KDW's...something real sticky but with hard sidewalls to retain good cornering capabilities. The problem is that there is always going to be a compromise...road race sticky compound=great dry weather perf but scary in the rain + short treadlife. drag radials=awesome hook up but crappy cornering due to soft sidewalls and also scary in the wet. normal z rated and w rated just dont have the traction necessary to launch or cars w/out tons of spinning. Personally i would spend the bucks for Bridgestone PP S02's and racelogic traction control system to limit wheel spin
