So finally replaced my hard as a rock date coded 1994 GoodYear Eagle GSC's with the tire most on here recommended since this is a fair weather only car.
Have to say so far I LOVE them! Thanks everyone that had input.
Don't mind the dirty car, I took pics after I got them installed, then drove home and washed her up.
I'm not sure why on the host site the pics are rotated correctly, then on here they are not. Sorry.








It's kind of an appearance mod I guess so I figured I'd post up a shot.
Nitto NT05's.

Nice!! I decided on the NT05r series, since I only put about 1.5k miles on my car per year. They sure look nice!! Any more pics possible?

That's all I have right now on me, what in particular were you looking for. I too only put about that many miles on, but was looking for more of a auto-x tire.

I really like them. Haven't driven it a ton yet, but so far so good. I like the rim protection.
They seem to hook up really well. Ride nice. But anything is going to ride better than those bricks that I had on the car.

I put them on my SS and love them. I have about 2500 miles on them. Don't be afraid to run lower air pressure in them. I run 28F/25R and the grip is amazing. Have fun in the corners with these things.

Yeah, I made sure to tell them to be VERY careful and that my rims do not have one single nick in them. They were gentle. Although one of the techs was like "What this thing, it's like 10 years old isn't it?" I didn't even answer him.

I may try a lower pressure. I'm running 32 in front, and 30 in the rear.

These tires are great. Had an alingment done with more camber, caster, and a 0 toe. Car carries so much speed through corners. Cuts real well and feels very stable.

I just got a set of NT05's for my stock rims. Getting put on tomorrow can't wait to see how they are. Seem like they should be good. Sidewalls seem stiff and heard great things. Of course they are going to feel like snow tires after having my Hoosier A6's on!!! Haha.
