Do the tire marks at the beginning look like I was using my brakes

The bottom of the picture is the beginning of the marks.

What tires are you running scott? I vote a 4/6 drop caltracs and maybe a drag radial for everyday driving. Pretty sure that would help you a lot

These are just some el cheapo tires on some allum silvy 17"s that I got from David as a temporary fix until I can get a decent set of tires on my Titan wheels.

They are 275/60/17 I think.

Well I've had General Grabber UHP's, Cooper Zeons, and 2 different sets of Michellin LTX style tires and they all have performed about the same.

I'm going to try some Nitto 404's on my Titans when I get some extra $$$.
