little bit of smoke coming from the tires on acceleration???

cross post from another forum, but i thought you folks might be interested.....

gxp burnout?

oh yeah, these things have traction control dont they?

smokey goodness

but yeah, i got some new tires that in my opinion put those potenzas to shame, they are federal ss595 drift tires and cost a little more than half the oems.
i had to plus size the rears from 225/50/18 to 235/50/18 but other than that, smooth sailing.

i showed up at the tire place and they jokingly asked if id want to eliminate the rest of tires behind their shop, i happily agreed and asked if they would film

Since the GXP doesn't have a LSD, isn't doing an extended burnout like that going to murder the spider-gear in the differential?
