So i'm planning on taking my car to a dyno in a couple of weeks, but I also need new tires pretty damn quick. My question is will it matter that the tread on my tires is really crappy in terms of affecting dyno numbers? Or could there possibly be any other effects? TIA

 

it'll affect a little bit but just tie the car down better and it should help

 

ok cool that is what i was thinking too. Just didn't want the car to fly off the dyno with all the power i'm making lol. I'll just be sure to mention it to the techs when i get her there. Thanks hiwords. I'll post up the numbers when i get them.

 

car wont fly off. Tires might slip if they cant hold onto the rollers.

Even tire pressure can effect the readings on the dyno and really sticky tires can cause lower readings.

 

Well I went to the dyno and these are the numbers my car put up.

 

Nice numbers. Do you know what the uncorrected numbers were?

 

I don't know the uncorrected numbers. I'll see if I can find out.
