I should be able to do a FATTY smokeshow right?
With a 255/55 17 Kumho Ecsta Supra 711 tire, in my truck (in sig) I have a factory 12-bolt with 4.10 gears. (Only a one-legger though) When I used to have the stock motor and 275/60 15 Radial T/A's, I could light that ONE up like no 2moro! So, with my new combo, I should be able to get a good amount of smoke right? (What about when I switch to a posi, will I be able to smoke BOTH tires just as good as the one?)

I need a posi. I like to punch it when I pull into to traffic sometimes. I scared probly scared crap out of some guy last night when I hit some water and fished tailed around this corner, he thought I was gonna run into his car, I seen him move to the side when he seen and heard me coming around the corner. I was "testing" the new wheels. SHould have some pictures up soon.
I can get just a little bit of smoke to come off my 295/50R15's when I hit it and turn. Those are some big tires to get spinning. Keep 'em spinnin'

I was speaking of width.
But height plays a factor too. I remember when I had stock tires on, I could smoke them no problem with the 305.

Ya they only do a churp if i really try it going around a corner its really not to big of a deal for me since tires are not that cheap that and getting a ticket but its fun to be able to do it every know and then. i had a manual in my old 61 and i dummped that clutch all the time.

I usually spin the tires when someone is looking or therea another 73-87 around. I have had a few 73-87 owners give me a thumbs up after a good tire spinnin'.

My truck does a pretty good job of smoking both tires even with an automatic. I think I surprise a lot of people when I do it. I don't think they expect it.
We had a bit of a rain storm Sunday afternoon and it's always fun to go out with the roads a little wet. Chirped my tires going into 2nd and 3rd gears and even fishtailed a bit going down a straightaway. I don't make a habit of them, these tires get expensive and the tickets aren't too cheap either!!

Maybe my engine just doesnt have the power it will not roast the tires or chirp them from a stand point . only time i can burn or chirp is when going around a corner and punching. if i try from a stand point it just takes off. oh well its not a really big deal since tires are not cheap.lol or tickets
