for some reason. my 305/70/17 nitto ntg dont spin at all in the rain. however my stock 20" goodyears could just sit there and smoke them. its so sweet when your at a light in the rain and you stomp on it, the truck doesn't go anywhere but the tach redlines.

All of you arguing this need to remember that most of us dont have the power that it takes to catch like that and throw our trucks off like that. That SRT-10 is pushing more power to the wheels than any of us have, so I doubt any of us are going to be catching that kind of traction with our tires spinning that fast because none of us can get our tires spinning that fast.

thats true, the SRT-10 had 500hp and 500trq. and all the mods we put on our trucks probably increase those to at about 50 or more but not enought to put us at 500 unless we swap engines and add turbos or superchargers and stuff
