Default How bad were YOUR DRs before you got new ones?

Well I have been running this last set of Nittos for a long while now, on two different LS1 cars, dating back to Nov of 04. They've been some good ones, have 60ft'd some 1.6s in my previous a4 car, and some low 1.8s in my stock suspended m6, including propelling my full weight heads/cam car to a trap speed of 121.5 mph, and running an 11.7. But the time had come to part ways and replace them with some new ones. Think I got my moneys worth?

Seriously though, a nice 10 sec burnout and they still hooked rather well. But boy were they scary when I got caught in the rain

Might as well run them as far down as you can. My last set was just as bald as that, but still hooked like hell after a nice burnout.

Pfffft, my last set of nittos had the cord showing. Although I must compliment your even wear. Somebody knows his proper inflation!

That's pretty good. I ran my first set of Nittos until the belt was showing on most of the tire.
