Ok guys, my truck is pretty much finished and I am still waiting on the custom made tires. The guy making them is taking way too long and keeps giving me excuses. Anyway I decided to go do some testing with some of those low profile panther tires that there was a lot of dispute about back in the day. I figured the low profile and the fact they are belted would help with high speed separation. BOY WAS I WRONG!. I made a couple of <1/2 throttle 50mph+ passes on my short street with no problems except the street definatly wasnt long enough. So Me and my buddy went out with the radar gun to a long street with little traffic and tried to better the passes a little more. Well it started out good and straight and about 1/2 way in the pass I rolled past the 1/2 throttle mark a little and all of sudden car jumped a little and came to a side ways stop after 15 feet. When I finally get down there 2 of the tires came uglued from the wheels from the centrifical force. The radar gun said 59 mph before epic failure of the tires. The nice thing about it is it stayed rubber side down and if it would of rolled without a body I would of been pissed. I really need those custom tires now so I can test properly.He said they are done and have been shiped but still havent seen a delivery confirmation #.
