wrong

i ran 16.3s on a bald set of kumho 711s, with wheelspin

i ran 16.5s (in cooler weather) on a new set of azenis, with little or no wheelspin, also my 60' times were about .1 sec slower

i have timeslips to prove this




You don't understand it though, the wheel spin itself is NOT what is making you move. Possibly having them not hook great but allowing the engine to keep it's revs up does get you moving... the bald tires may also have helped out on the rest of the run... and even if the weather is colder, there is still other factors that come into play.
LISTEN TO THIS::: WHEEL SPIN DOES NOT MAKE YOU MOVE, THOUGH IT MOST LIKELY WILL BE INVOLVED IN YOUR MOVEMENT. Understand what I'm saying?
