Does one need taller tires behind the 455?

    Stg1Regal Yep Traction Issues!:)

    Have playing around with the car lately, and last night on the way home from a cruise in, I showed off at a stop light, even with my two sons, LILSTG1, and my self, all in the car, the Regal still spun the tires.:grin:

    I heard with the 2004R it hits harder with the lower first gear, could that be a factor with the tourqe of the 455?

    I'm running 225/60/15's on the rear., with a non G80 posi 3:42 GN rear end.

    Do I need to step up to a taller tire (read height wise) or a wider tire?

    When I had my GN I was running a 275/60/15 tire and at the strip I never had wheel spin once,.

    Just curious:confused:

    TIA

    you need a posi and at least 26" tall tire. Unless you like spinning forever.:)
