You guys watch this guy's videos?

He likes to stress the importance of good tires.
Pretty cool example comparing three cars. One stock, once with double the HP and stock tires, and one with stock engine and better tires.

It's actually quite amazing what a set of R-comps or 140 treadwear tires will do for a stock vehicle's performance.

The trend these days is for manufacturers to use tires that are rock hard for longevity and fuel mileage, but at the expense of traction.
