I use to have Good Year Eagle F1's. Can I expect a great difference? Did you guys feel the difference? How much faster were you guys in the quarter mile??

They should be better than the F1s on the street but they won't dead hook from a low 1st roll. They worked pretty well for me at the track though.

FYI: Please don't repost with "anyone????" hours after your original post. Give it some time. The rear should be fine behind the auto, they are much softer on the rear than a manual. (of course, it could go boom anyway. Or your tranny...)

Mine has seen a near 200 shot out of the hole and it's still going strong. I personaly think you'll be fine.

I'm the same way bro. Some of us Police get impatient quickly lol. I'm thinking about these tires as well. I don't guess I have enough hp. to hurt my 10 bolt, so I may get some of those if they last a few thousand miles.

Thanks guys. I mounted the 315/35 Nittos and they feel great on my 17x11 Black ZR1's. They are alot better than the Eagle F1's 275/40 set up on my 17x9 CETA wheels.

I should mention that you might want to pick up some 3M X-pel strips for the paint behind the tires. It a clear adhesive that is almost invisible once on the car. Those Nittos throw so much sand I have no paint left behind all four tires. That would really stick out on an NBM car.
