It is a big tire. My thinking was that the big tire would help with consistent 60ft times on a variety of track conditions. I choose the DOT tires because the car is street legal and I like to drive it on the street once in a while. I had no idea traction would still be a problem.

Rear gears are 5.13
I have changed instant center from 48" out and 10" up
to 59" forward and 9" up with no noticeable difference in results.

I have had the bottom 4 link bars "nose up" trying to achieve as high an
instant center as possible. I am starting to think maybe trying to adjust
the bottom 4 link bars so they point down slightly in the front to see if that will help.

Also I have ordered a set of slicks. When I took the DOT tires off I noticed 3 perfect muddy water stripes inside the wheel tubs!! directly above the grooves in those DOT tires.

I really appreciate every ones advice.
