I painted a silver strip on them. You don't HAVE to have a 9 or 10 second car before the wheels start spinning in the slicks.
Last time out they felt like they were spinning a little and my 60' was a tenth more than usual. I just want to find out if the rims are spinning or I have traction problems now with this new converter.

Is there a way to determine if slicks are getting worn down?
