Nice. About u always mentioning ur tires breaking loose or spinning all the way down the track.....is it not time for better tires? I know I'm only hitting 10psi but thats 10psi before 3000rpm and there's plenty of days I can floor it in 1st from a dead stop and not spin the tires.

Or maybe preload ur urd trac bar more(if u have one?)

Was the RX8 hooked up cause those are pigs stock?

I had Nitto Invos and they couldn't hold traction for me worth a damn, now I have the Nitto 555's extremeII and they don't spin nearly as much. I swear the Invos were softer too? They also didn't wear very well for me and lasted 10,000 miles at best with most of it being highway.
Hope u have better luck with them

No it has a button that basically logs what you actually hit or max your psi at and you can check it with that button it's a peak button or what you recently peaked at kinda like a mini datalog for howmuch boost your pushing

Yea these handle great with my setup but I had the hankooks before and they were spinning more than these

I checked it after the run. Autometer calls it peak memory recall
