I was in a tire shop a couple weeks ago. There was a brand new Shelby GT Mustang (SWEEEEEEET ride). The owner special ordered 2 tires for the rear; I think they were like the ones in your picture. The tire shop said the tires will NOT spin. The tire shop advised the owner not to buy the tires. They told the man your car's transmission and rear end are not designed for these tires. Told him your tranny and rear end are designed for some spinning; and, if you get on the gas hard repeatedly you will tear up your tranny or rear end. The guy bought the tires regardless.
My question is: Do you know if there is any truth to what the tire shop told the customer?
Possible. I know they've found out that the Z28 tires can spin on the rims under aggressive acceleration AND braking. The pads on those carbon ceramic rotors can make the car pull -1.5 G's on braking.
I remember disabling the ABS on a first generation ZR-1 during diagnosis and I thought my ears were going to touch in front of my nose when I cinched her down.
