Default Need experienced opinion on sixty foots

I RAN A SEARCH, so chill out. I have a 94 accord coupe f22b2, Zex 55 shot, Driveshaftshop.com axles, ACT xtreme clutch/street disc, and the energy suspension motor mount. My best 60' up to date was a 2.36. Pathetic. That was on 195.55.15 RE-010 potenzas. I recently aquired some Nitto NT-555Rs, what 60's SHOULD i be hitting with the nittos? Thank You.

There is so much depending on the driver, I think it would be next to impossible to tell you what you should expect.

Personally I would not expect better times, then if you get them, then you will be happy.

I know, but im asking what people with the radial slicks are hitting. I would be surprised if my diff didn't explode.

Just a guess: 2.1something.

Very hard to get better than 2.3 on street tires.

Honestly, just get slicks and some wheels to mount them on. That'll stomp ANY radial tire.

Depends how serious you are though.

a few of my friends have the nittos and they are both running 2.2 60ft times. one is a stock f22b 4th gen. the other is a vtec lude w/ a quaife. the lude should be running a bit faster. this week he hopes to get 2.0-2.1's. they've learned through out the last few weeks that you get the best grip from the nittos after heating them up really really well. run through the water box, and try a 2nd gear burnout. thats where theyve both had the most success. nitto quotes that optimum operating temp for these tires is above 100 degrees.
