Disappointing ET's with 408 - UPDATE

dont use slicks then.... use mickey tompson radials

I do have a set of M/T 14" G (equiv 255/60's) series Indy SS tires with the "hot and sticky" compound, wonder if they would hook better if I warmed them up first. Only problem is that they are 26" tires, which effectively increased the gearing (from 4.10 to 4.42), and may negate the advantage to stickier tires.

Thoughts?
