Well, of course I have 20-30 more pound feet of torque than stock SVTs do, but the tires just start spinning any time in first and second gear when I stab the gas (not dropping the clutch or power shifting either). My Firestone Winterfires in 205/60/15 had better straight line traction.
About the only thing I can commend the 712's for is wear (not a performance item) and resistance to hydroplane.
