Mickey Thomspon ET street radials work good once they are warm.
What kind of tyres are you using? |

jeez.. not surprised you have traction issues with 215/50/15.... on a NA falcon they are marginal for grip let alone a turbo'd falcon..
 micky thompsons are graet when heated up for the quater mile... not sure how thay would hold up around a track though..

They are usually around $300 each from VPW ( http://www.vpw.com.au/product.asp?CatID ... odID=45311 ) If you like Ive got a new set that I wont be using for a while as I need a new turbo and ECU first. They have only been fitted to the car while it sat in the garage. They are 235/60R15 and fit on a stock falcon rim. $500. I ran the 275/17 version on my AU when I had it and was launching on 8psi with no traction problems at all running 1.6 60' times. |

Just remember the trade off with too much traction, you end up breaking expensive parts.
