Definitely agree with everyone above- forget doing new tires. With a decent set of regular street tires, traction off the line shouldn't be an issue at all for you. If you're having traction problems as is, you either have old/worn out tires or you need a driver mod, lol.

Also- as said above, skip the burnout. You're wasting time and money (by burning off perfectly good rubber). Even if you do manage to go .1 second quicker or something- the stress on the car, and the waste of tires makes it ridiculous. The burnout box is intended to bring tires up to correct heat for the more hardcore cars.

What size Drag Slicks would fit on a 7th gen? I have an extra set of rims. I also have MASSIVE traction issues.
