Cheers, I have a C4, and I want to try a drag radial. I would hate to go out there and get wheel spin. I have tried to find some used 235/60/15 ET streets with some tread so I can get 2-3 passes out of them but no luck yet.
And yes it is fun trying

Life is like a grinding stone,
it either sharpens you up,
or grinds you down
