[DeTomaso] TIRE HELP

[Will Kooiman]

On the other hand, they are great for drag racing.

My brother put a set on his 2003 Cobra.  He said he can dump the clutch
and they hook without spinning.  I watched him leave the line several
times in a row without any traction issues at all.

As well as they hook off the line, they must have very soft sidewalls.  I
certainly wouldn't use them on the street, except maybe to/from the drag
strip.
