So we can go low, drive faster into the turns and keep it under control doing it and if the down side is a new set of tires every now and then oh well! I find that more than worth it. Right now I have three sets of tires that were changed out for different sizes not because they were worn. I would rather wear them out passing the Tuners any day.

This has me thinking a 2wd 70 with C4 stuff might be fun
