I like the Conti Extreme DW . Excellent street tread.

I have nitto invos on all 4 corners and love them. Traction is decent after putting a few miles on them.

O ok how did they hook at the track? I know they are street tires so they wont give u stellar results just wondering since i have pretty much narrowed my choice to the invos or the continentals

I have no other experiences with any other tires at the track so I can't really comment on how well they did. I spun them hard but that was a driver issue not as much the tire. I am sure they would do "ok" with more seat time on them.

thanks for all the info guys im leaning towards the continentals because everyone that runs them has nothing but good things to say plus they are cheaper then the invos and the invos are on backorder at discount tire however im still somewhat contemplating the nto5's.

I have the same wheels. I got the Nt05 all around.The rears are 295/35 18 . They are by far the best tire i have had on this car yet. My bolt on car hooks as well as it did with my mickey thompson et streets. The car corners unbelievably and they are very quiet. As far as how long they will last, it would depend on your driving habits, just like any other tire. They really look good too. The tread pattern is real aggressive. I would definitely recommend these tires. It took me awhile to decide on a tire and i am very happy with my choice.

Yeah i keep hearing great things about the nto5s and since the nitto drag radials i had lasted around 12000 miles if i got the nto5s they should last a lil longer considering their higher treadwear rating

there are nt05 street and nt05rs right? are you runnign the street tire or the drag radial?

Asking because i have the kdw 2s currently and i love them on the street amazing wet traction compared to the wide ovals i had before. great grip and handling and amazing tread pattern probably the best of all tires out there. but at the track they sucked and now about 4 years since ive had them they are at the end of their life and they are terrible they kick out any chance they get wheather its a hard turn or acceleration. only reason i would get them again was for the tread pattern. i couldnt ever hear any road noise we drive v8s with exhaust what else can we hear lol. the nt05s look nice though and i read good stuff.
