i needed new tires so you obviously gotta make sure you get your moneys worth out of the oold set. also see what i mean about one wheel spinning more than the other one

Two things I would not do again if I were you.

First off, "NO" drinking and driving!!!!:nono:

Second thing, I saw a guy (Jerry) do the same thing with his MM and after it was done he needed new control arms, watts link and had driven the driveshaft into the tranny. Remember, it is a 4200 pd large car. Not a sports car. :shake:
 
Nice video......You shouldn't drink and drive no matter where you are, you don't look cool doing it, you look like a jack ass

and your posi is shot
 
i was in a parking lot and had just opened it. i just didnt want it spilling. anyways i like the tires they are bfg kdw2 and they were cheaper than stock.im sure some of you already know this. so what your saying is a stock 3.55 diff is not supposed to act like this?
 
Obvoiusly I am late for the party...:depress:

I see no beer in the video.
But had I, I would have warned: Hide the beer from the masses. :beer:
I like beer.;)

I also didn't see what was done that may have damaged the drivetrain. :dunno:
 
You know, I have kind of a similiar issue with mine. I was at the track a couple of weeks ago. Did a nice little burnout and the track was really kicking up rubber in the staging lanes.

Anyway, after the run (a nice list 9.58 @ 75mph in the 1/8th) when I parked the car, I noticed the driver side wheel well and lower 1/4 panel area had plenty of spent rubber on it. Passenger side had almost none. Could have just been the track itself as I am pretty sure the rubber was not coming from my tires per say. And that is with a recently rebuilt rear end (new gears, original limited slip unit).

By the way, are those the 255/55-18 KDW2's on the rear there? If so, they actually look a little narrower than the stock ones in the first picuture
 
Inside wheel is always going to break loose and spin while turning......yours appear to act perfectly normal!!!:beer:

Try spinning them going straight and you will get the rest of the story....May require braking to get them going!!:rolleyes:

Ditto on the drinking and driving.....:shake:
