Anybody run the track with
Nitto 555 Extremes? I've been having a problem launching with them. I did a 3500 rpm launch and it hooked once but every other time, I burn out and lose traction or I bog out.
wtf.

Nitto's really need to be heated up to perform at their best. Make sure to do a good burn out before your run, to the point where you can feel the tire start to grab. I would also try to launching at a higher rpm, maybe your 3500 is too low and that's why you sometimes bog. Also how much psi are you running in the tires when racing? Maybe try running a lower psi. I know on my street tires I had them down to 12 psi to get some hook out them.

I dropped em to 20 psi and did a 3500 launch and a 4000 launch; but I bogged out and lost traction, respectively.

I found out that the burnout is very critical with the Nitto's. If you do too much of a burnout traction will get worse. I had the best luck doing a dry burnout just until I started to see smoke and launching at 4000 RPM. I usually ran with about 25 PSI.
