Default Caltrac Owner Opinions/Reviews/Testimonies

Considering getting some Caltracs but before dumping money, would like to hear from Caltrac Owners how they liked them, how much they helped, et improvements, etc??? Other traction recommendations for 11 second truck build up appreciated.

I think you will be very happy with them.......but not much is gonna help you on street tires but i did feel a big difference. You will get zero wheel hop.
