I have cheap summer tires, BFG sport comp, but they are 265 in the rear, which is decent, but they get no traction at WOT in first and poor in second, and if the road conditions are poor (bumps and/or broken up asphalt) then 3rd can break loose, and that is on dry days, but admittedly they do much better once they are really warm. I would say the JRSC would probably be a little weaker down low, but with a header, catback, E85, etc, there will be plenty of power to be squirrelly in 1st and 2nd with poor summer tires. It is worth paying for some decent tires. My next set will be MPSS.
