I want to get tires that are much stockier, in an effort to reduce the amount of wheelspin I experience with the supercharger.

I got the KDW not the KDW2's, You already know why I didn't go with the 2's, It was a little hard saying I didn't really care for the KDW's as they are better than the tires that come on the SSR, The first thing you see is the sound when they break loss, It is louder, I have broke the Goodyears lose and never heard them, I played with the air and got it where it would come off the line with a low 1.9 60ft. time, That is with them spinning, Seems like I did a high 1.8 with low air, On the street they are a much better tire, Looks better and way better in the rain, The torque my SSR puts out it would almost have to have a set of full slicks to do what I want,
