assuming you have your run-of-the-mill all-season tires with the LSD option (at whatever psi you want)

Good tires not including slicks or DOT slicks

GO!

3/24/2009 10:42:32 PM

lsd for sure.

OR

1. weld diff
2. buy tires
3. ...
4. profit!

i'd rather have meth, but lsd works

Tires. even if you weld the diff up, two times no traction is still no traction.

3/27/2009 12:43:27 PM

but i think a lot of people would argue that two regular tires will have much much more grip overall then one powered tire, no matter how bad ass that one tire is, comparatively.

I say fuck the LSD and buy a locker.

what is the vehicle?

this isnt snow...

locker and lower the tire pressure for gods sake

^I'm pretty sure it's his KA-T 240SX.

3/27/2009 1:04:59 PM

hmmmm

i would go with:
- decent sidewall height
- lowest pressure you can stand
- lsd/locker

lol, seriously? what the hell are people thinking that 2 is better than 1...

I'm assuming it's the mentality of shockloading the drivetrain and spinning both tires, kindof like in the snow?

GET A TORSEN

[Edited on March 27, 2009 at 5:19 PM. Reason : ok im not serious about that]

3/27/2009 5:18:39 PM

i don't know what the mentality is, i just know it's wrong. the argument could be made for tires over lsd/locker/spool/weld if he was willing to run something that had the chance to dead hook like a drag radial/slick, but not otherwise.

the argument of running an open diff in snow/ice is more about vehicle control than traction. open is much less likely to put your ass in a ditch without warning.

i guess that's the mentality....





Can't wait to get some fatty mcfatterson slicks on the Lung

lower pressure in a radial will just give you a smaller contact patch

3/27/2009 5:49:50 PM

center bowing inward? i guess they are designed for max contact patch at spec pressure

3/27/2009 6:23:38 PM

^^wat?

3/27/2009 7:04:01 PM

3/27/2009 8:00:22 PM

tire wear pattern =/= contact patch. A=L*W. plz to show site view

hmmm, discuss this topic we should.

This is why a drag radial is constructed differently than a passenger radial- it isnt just different tread and compound.

If you drive it daily just don't weld the damn diff. That being said I do have a spare R200 open if you want to buy it and weld it

If it's for your 240 I'm sure you can find someone selling on CN, or go to a junkyard and get a j30 diff.

I have the stock vLSD and falken rt615s and I'm happy at autoX with mine. Why would you drag a 240 anyways, they suck balls at it. Especially that gay 1st gear.

^^^yep. same with most off road oriented radials too.

^^i don't think anyone is really being serious about welding it. though, i did weld up jsquared's s13 unit back in the day.

3/30/2009 4:37:45 PM

weld it
