    I have a buddy looking for some tires for his Eclipse. We went to the track yesterday and he was still spinning when he crossed the line. It was only an 8th mile track but still, the car had 19's on it. So if anyone knows of some new or used for a good deal hit me up.

    Thanks, -Eric

    pretty sure going that big a wheel and launching puts a ridiculous stress on your axles too.

    Has anyone ever seen the video where the donk is doing a burnout on its 40"ish wheels and just throws an axle and wheel right off the car.

    A 19" with a 35 aspect ratio is never considered a race tire wheel combo. It may look "racey", but its a really bad idea, considering in most cases wheels weigh more than rubber. The higher aspect ratio helps the rubber constrict and grab rather than a small ar where the tire just constantly slips.
