Message	I've finally been able to start driving my TT around, and took it up to Virginia City for a ride in the twisties. I'm quickly noticing the car is lacking traction in the rear. I'm running rear 18x8.5 350z wheels with a 255 35 R18 Bridgestone RE760 sport rear tire. The power isn't crazy, just a SZ tune with upgraded intercoolers, DP's and exhaust. Existing corners while rolling on the power always leads to a loss of traction. Thinking I should go to a 265 35 R18 since that's the biggest I can probably run on a 8.5 wheel. Other than that I'm looking at having to go with a wider wheel. Thoughts? ------------------------------------------------- Work on your own car, and don't half ass it.
