Am having traction problems with my big block B-body,,,,,,, I am leaving two nice long black strips of rubber on the pavement, no bounce or spring wind-up, just no bite,,,,,what is my best bet for street legal tires, have about 10.5 inches on the ground, and like the gearing and tire heigth, what's next ,,,,,,cheater slicks?

M/T ET Street or M/T ET Street Radials I have both sets mounted up, the ET Street bias plys work really good on the street and pretty good at the track when the track is bad, the Radials are quicker and faster on a good track but not as good on the street with your average pavement What have you done to your suspension to make it work better than stock Is this a 4 speed car or auto trans? What brand and size tire are you using now?

I sure am hoping that what I am hearing is what will happen in my case as well,,,,the tires that I have on are hankook h101, and are 265/50/15, I can go taller, but am at the max on width, and would like to stay at the heigth I am at, the tires are new, and am at least going to burn off the tread that is on them before I replace them, possibly with the ETs unless I hear of something better
