Default Anybody have 245/50-16 Nitto DRs?

If so, how do you like them? How much did they improve your 60'?

I can cut 2.0x 60's on my stock RS-As. Just curious.

Thanks,
Kris

I had them. Just threw them out when my snow tires went on. I'll have another pair on there come spring. I only ran three passes at the track on them, and they don't count for much because it was my very first time to a track not but two weeks after I got my converter and I didn't heat them up. Consequently, my best 60' was 2.0. They are a GREAT street tire though!

They should fit just fine on a stock wheel. Also, you might look into 255/50/16 BFG DRs. They are stickier than the Nittos.

I have them on my car now but I am changing to MT Drags. When I do the cam next week. I pulled 1.90' times with my nittos. They are good for daily drivers.

nittos are good for daily drivers if you are goign to leave the rims on the car. i have a spare set of rims and im getting MT Drag radials. when i had my nittos at the track they wouldnt hook for crap. it was a nice 80-85 degree day and i was still spinning them through 1st and then barking 2nd. if you ever do use them at the track do one hell of a burnout before lining up and then will hook. i did this and it bogged coming off the line. key to success, great burnout first.
