Lack of traction
Just looking for some advise before I make any purchases but I recently went turbo and I ordered 255/40/18 for the rear and there Michelin pilot super sports. However if I go WOT even at 55 the back end just starts spinning what have my fellow power junkies done to help keep there rear end on the ground

Lightweight car with a lot of power on street tires. Gonna have to be pretty easy with the throttle modulation or go to a street radial.
Wouldn't happen to know how much torque would you? Breaking lose from WOT in the top of the rev range or from 2500? |

Try to get some anti-squat out of the rear suspension, let it squat more under acceleration?

I'll be able to tell you how much tq tomorrow and around the top end I normally don't like to speed on the street but I've been driving it pretty hard since I just got it back from my shop and if there's anything wrong with it I want to know before I drive back to nc

300hp + 55 mph + 255/40/18 PSS and "the back end just starts spinning" dose not add up!
Things to look at: tires way over inflated? do you have mad camber so only half your tread is on the ground? 800lbs springs with 1.5 in drop? (IE no squat)? are the roads covered in snow, ice or lots of water? are you dropping the clutch at max TQ to try and spin the tires? |

something isn't right, you should have no issue hooking up at that speed and power.

Another thing to check is air/pavement temperatures... if the tires are too cold they won't stick well at all.
