..I was running Hoosier DOT slicks on the dyno..I figure if i put on the 25in slicks it will hold traction
slicks suck ass on the dyno... when you go back take some radials with you... slicks are too soft and distort under power on the rollers of the dyno, decreasing surface contact and thus allowing the tires to break loose
