It's not a tire pressure issue either as it still happens with 30+ psi in them. Add in the stock runflat tires up front and it gets real interesting really quickly.

I wonder if this is a combination of the tires toeing in from all the soft rubber, the cradle being pushed around from the toed in tires and a short sidewall not being able to take up any of the out of parallel tires?

The fact that my car and many other people's car had this problem when 100% stock and now with more power and traction it is just worse makes me think the tires are just aggravating an existing problem.

I will report back soon on if the bmr stuff helped with my issue.

Smh. Not good. I just ordered me a set. My Nitto's are hanging on at 760 hp, but I'm about to run it up to 900 hp so I ordered me a set of DR's.



Would going with the 20" MT Street be best or switch to the R888R and go with a 315?

That's a good tire. You shouldn't have any problems. The tire that is under possible recall/was recalled was the Corvette sizing 335/30/20 or whatever it is, but it's not the 305 size. A 305 MT ET SS will out-hook a R888R in 315. If straight line traction is your goal, you bought the right tire.

I'm running the 305 Mickeys as well. I honestly feel like the only way they hook is with a good burnout. I think my stock tires hooked better with no burnout. Maybe they are designed that way.

Yea, I'm just looking for the best roll race tire out there. By this time next week, I should be pushing 800-900 hp so I need a tire to at least dig in on a 50 roll. I'm not dumping my 20" wheels, so it was either the ET Streets or a 315 R888R. I just didn't think the 888 would hold that much power on a roll.

I'm on triple 8's at close to 800 rwhp, and they hook on the highway pretty well as long as they are warmed up. At 900 I dk what to say, but I'm interested to find out in your case. Let us know! The positive to the triple 8's is the cornering is still there at least.

I had the exact same issue as the OP without DRs on and when I did put MT on it got way worse.
