Sure it's the tires bro? No offense, but I don't have an assload of power (run 13's on a good day) and I can launch at like 4K on streets. If you're running tons of boost, might want to tone it down on the lauch-foot-to-the-floor action and try a little finesse

something no one asked was:
What tire pressure were you running on your street tires ?
Did you have wheel hop ?
Are your tires bald ?

IMO:
Run 18 psi & launch at the highest possible rpm without spinning too much. The idea is to leave the line in your powerband (vtec).
