Default TT2's with Nitto NT-01's

Just a quick shot because I said I would, The car is up off the ground right now and I've got a set of Koni's and Strano springs on the way so it should sit down nicely once done. They tuck pretty nicely from what I can tell so far. SS spoiler is getting back from paint next week and that should round out the rear nicely.

Anyways, here's the pics...

You should paint your wheel wells why you have the rims off.. Get some nice black paint made for the undercoating.. Really cleans it up nicely..

np man

I actually just had my car out on the street and the tires turned to jello riding around in 95+ degree heat.. lol

I haven't used my NT01's on hot days, just a few track days in the cooler weather.. These babies on a hot track may be a bit too much stick..

Yeah, I know what you mean. It was 98 degrees here today and about 98 yesterday too. Just bringing them home from getting mounted/balanced in the backseat of the Daily Driver with the sun shining on them they got stickier than hell. I went to pull them out and left one hell of a hand print across the tread. My hand felt like it had been sprayed with spray adhesive when I pulled it off the tire. These things will be great!

Can you measure the tread on those bad boys? I'm looking for a set of tires for my back 17x11 for when the BFG's die off. I'm curious how wide the tread patch it.

They are wider than the NT555R's that's for sure. They are a healthy 315. They look a little wider than my old Hoosier DR 315's that I had. It's hard to see from the picture because of the angle but they are about 12.4" wide on the tread.

Cool thats a pretty good patch. I like the tread too. I'll look into these. They would have better clearance than my BFG's too, these things are downright massive. The tread is 13.5" wide at 32psi, I had to BFH a lot to get them to fit.

Remember these are not really a street tire, used for Comp Racing only.. They could be driven on the street but probably wouldn't last long at all.. If your car is a DD I would not recommend getting them. They are a badass tire if you are into Road Racing.

i had these in a 315 30 18 on my ta.
with full bolt on's, 4.10 gears, and a 150 shot they dead hooked... and they handle great. imho best street tire money can buy. rated to go fast, hook, and take corners great.
they just don't last too long
