If you put a 1jz in it that would be sick. I have seen a bunch of the sc400'S drifting and they are sick!!!!!!!!!!!!

well i have had the new tires sense last thursday. i will have to say i am very impressed!

these tires are very nice. i have never had tires that provided traction to the ground.
my old tires were junkyard tires and they sucked big time. i couldnt launch or shift hard from first to second with out wheel spin.
after doing a small 5 sec burnout or taking a turn really hard i can launch just about as hard as i want and i can get NO wheel spin for shifting.
i highly recomend these tires for some one looking for affordable performance. www.discounttiredirect.com
