We have been using Falken tires and are probably going to change brands. They get greasy if you spin them at all and do not stick at all when hot. The last set was $1600 so they have no redeeming qualities. I tried to buy Rivals from the Tire Rack but they delayed my order 5 separate times so I cancelled. Tires have to be 200 TW to be legal so we are looking for an alternative. We even put wet towels on them to cool between runs but they still overheat badly. We made sound with the little mufflers 97 dba so everybody was happy, noisy but legal. Engine is great pulls like a train at every speed, best one I have ever had in this car. We went through 30 gallons of fuel averaging 1.4 gallons per run. It is pretty thirsty but fuel is power. It was one of the most fun times I have had with the car in all the time I have had it, people were great and glad we brought it out.
