For the rear... Nitto R's or RII's??? Which ones are you guys using.
Since I really can't get traction in 1st or 2nd on the street, I think it will be worse with bolt-ons.

I use the r2 on all 4 corners. You will get better traction witht he drag radial on the rear and decent handling. Witrh the r2 you get superb handling. Its a tradeoff. If you drive hard on the street and fast around turns at high speeds I would stick with the r2's.

I have the R2s and notice significant wheel hop when I mash the throttle on the street. Never raced the car at a track, so i dont know what its like there... I do get pretty amazing tracking with them tho.. About as good as you could expect with 480whp.

You have the Rs unless you've changed them

The BFGs hook up way better, but they are 00 treadwear as opposed to Nitto555Rs 100 treadwear. What this means is that Nittos typically last around 10,000 miles and the BFGs are good for around 7,000 miles.
