Nitto Nt05 tires??
I need some new tires for the camaro this year, I'm running 275/40r17s up front and 315/35r17s out back. The car is driven only in nice weather and I drive half street and half autocross. For my tire sizes, the nitto nt05 looks like my best option, does anyone run them or any opinions on them?? Thanks!

i am running them on my car in a 295/35r18 on all four corners, only have about 300 mi of street driving on them so far, but i like them. they have good street manners and seem to grip well in corners. havent pushed them too hard yet, but i do plan on getting into autocross this summer so i cant wait to see how they do.

I've only heard good things about the NT05s, but I'd be tempted to try the Mickey Thompson Street Comps which also have a lot of good reviews. They should be a touch less aggressive than the NT05s (300 treadwear vs. 200), but Summit has the 315s for $152 each and the cheapest I've found the NT05s in that size is $208 from Discount Tire. The Street Comps are also non-directional which means you can rotate them side-to-side to get even more life out of them over the NT05s. I'd be running the Street Comps myself but my car is a year-round DD so I need an all-season tire to get around on in the winter.

Don't know how many know but another pretty decent spot to find tires on the web is www.tires-easy.com. I have bought two sets through them and were pretty reasonable.
