What tires are good for these GTi's, all around for a daily? Michelin Pilot Super Sports? Or the new ones that replaced those? I have all seasons and I spin like crazy. LOL

Okay. Just took her to the track tonight for her first drag night. Our drag strip is terrible and is getting repaved soon. It's about 3-4 tenths slower than any other track around. Here is what I was able to do:
ET: 12.896 MPH: 109.40 60': 2.189 DA: 1558 Model: MK7 GTI 2.0T IS20 DSG 93oct, Full Weight, Nitto NT-01, COBB 5150.93, WHACKAMAC (J. Neutron), Medford, OR

edit... i just read the spreadsheet... did I just break the Full Weight no slicks IS20 record?

... any reason I can't post pics?

Trap speeds seem a bit low? Stage 1 cars hit 108-110mph. But that E/T is very quick

Youtube video of the run: https://youtu.be/TIJHPfUv_6k

Sorry that it's so big but I'm on the left. The YT video has more details on the mods and location. Need to dial in my 60 ft with a better launch and I know I can go 13.5 or less.

lol, crushed that slowcus.
I wish the video showed how big of a gap there was when we finished lol I went up to him afterwards and he asked me if I got on it at all in the beginning and I said nah, I'll spin all the way till 3rd. It's funny cause in the video you can hear when I actually get on it and I just launch forward.

What psi is everyone finding works best w street tires?

On street tires I would not go too far from factory spec.. I personally would not recommend anything under 25psi, I believe 28-30psi is what I ran.

I ran 28psi at the drag strip. Didn't spin much, but wheel hopped at launch a bit. Getting dogbone insert Friday and some drag radials Friday. Hope to get back to see how it does soon.

Boosted.... I was a 2.4 60' also. If we knock that down to 2.1 or 2.0, we would both knock off at least 1/2 second on the 1/4 mile.
