[QUOTE="Riley P, post: 105995, member: 2"] Couple questions on the tires slippage. I'm assuming there is a difference between tire slippage and tires spinning. Blowing the tires off won't produce the best acceleration, but tire slippage can. In school a friend was working on max traction vs tire slippage in agricultural conditions (yet being tested on pavement) and found maximum pulling power to be achieved at 20% slip. Im totally assuming the results can be transferred to other situations. Also, this is second hand information, but I heard there was a difference between radials and bias ply tires where bias ply tires maintain traction while spinning, radials don't. That's why you see the dragsters from the 60's smoking the tires the whole way down the track. Anyway, this is just theory. I enjoy hearing from people who actually do this. [/QUOTE]
