And your tires suck for traction

is this for your play truck? any street tire wont hang on your setup IMO. nitto 555r's all the way around are the only solution IMO. especially if it wont be driven very often.

a 4 wheel burnout will take care of any flat spots

Yes they are for my personal truck, I know I will have traction problems but they dont make a DR for the 20x8.5s that Im buying Monday. I have an extra set of alloy 18s I can throw some DRs on if I need to. Ill just have to ease into the throttle on the 20s.

I do, and when you warm them up they hook pretty good. I beat the **** out of the tires because nothing can come close to the price and I just love burnouts

mine are so-so... the wet traction is pretty decent but the dry is not much better than any other tire I have used. never experienced the flat spotting either. and my truck has sat for 6-8 weeks at a time.
