dont dump the clutch in 1st and u should be alright ... its really not that hard to launch a standard magna ... throttle control...

havnt really found a difference from tyre quality when i launch but tyre width made a difference i found

Yokohama make some good tyres. My last ones were A539's. Very good but they don't make them anymore. I'm running C-Drives now, which are a step up. 235/45R17 for $270 each. Not cheap, but they're pretty good. Two things you shouldn't skimp on, tyres and brakes.

Out of interest, my slicks are free and I still use 185 secondhand jobbies on the road. There is no need for that extra grip.

Hey have a look at getting an anti-lift kit installed, this will stop the front end lifting off when the right foot hits the deck. I found it made a good diffrence, especially when taking off uphill, or when crossing traffic lights and the front end gets light through the intersection. However good tyers still make a good difference.
