Well, I thought I would try to break in the temporary Sumitomo's until I get the new set from NITTO...

On my left is a RENNtech E60. Very RARE, only known one in the US. 1997 w210 with 25K miles on the clock. This thing is a BEAST!

End results... 55+ feet of rubber laid on the asphalt, lots of smoke and not too mention the smell of rubber! I don't normally do this kind of thing, but I thought I would un-leash the power!

SWEEET burn out though! You shoudn't have smoked anything on that car because the wheels are so nice and bright:D The rears should be clear/red and the fronts should be clear:)

Some people forget that Renntech actually sells some cars. Price may be a little insane though. :D
