I am using Michelin PS3 Sport tires on the front and stock brigdestone tyres on the back.. ive found that if u over boot you will get a lot of bounce, in this vid i actually didnt boot it that hard in first.. i was soft on the accelarator.. you know a ford st pulls belong side you the last thing you wanna do is start hopping.. just go a little more easier and you'll find you get alot better performance from 1st gear. it's easy to get it to hop even in 2nd but try to judge the gears by the sound of the engine.. if that makes sense..
