I dont know about anyone else... maybe thendawg feels the same way but i really dont care about corners right now. lol I dont think im gonna be takin any hard lefts or rights on the higway... I just want it to hold str8. With that said, how does the star spec compare to a nt05, bfg t/a dr, advan neova etc...?

 

advans last like a week.

 

Looks like something like the NT05 or Star Spec will be the way to go - the others Im afraid will simply wear too fast for street use. My car is not my daily driver, but I definately take it out more than once a week lol, so I dont want a tire that Ill only get 2000-3000mi out of. Also has anyone ran a 255/40/17 on a 17x9" wheel? Will this fit without much work? Keep in mind, my fender liners are already gone, and I can def roll the fenders a bit, but I dont wanna mess with pulling them and all the body/paint work involved.

 

Just got done reading a pile more reviews on the NT05 - its starting to seem more and more like the way to go I just wonder how wide you can go on say a 9" wheel without having to pull the fender.

 

i'm a dunlop fan personally

 

be ready for disappointment

 

255's on a 9" wheel are just fine. Should have no problems with a proper alignment.

 

trd, so what tire do you run on the street? Since apparently nothing thats been mentioned thus far works, you must have some super special tire?

 

^^^^ lol he has some custom slicks on his car for the streeeeeeeeeets, lol j/k i dunno about anyone but the bigger the tire the better as long as the tire is below 200 tread count on the street and for the strip some slicks!

 

Yea - Im looking at some 15" steelies for some slicks for the track Than 17x9's with 255's on them for the street - thinking either Star Specs or NT05's

 

on the streetzzz i ride around on the tires that came on my car from the dealership. I dont understand why you need traction to drive around.
If its a weekend and theres a race set up I bring my slicks and a jack

 

Isn't there nt01 our something like that. Thats pretty much a drag radial?

 

^ yes but they dont make 'em in front wheel drive sizes. meaning 275 and up is what I've seen

 

Roll the fenders...lol

 

lol... that would be crazy

 

you could also buy wider fenders.

wait... they do make NT01's in our size! I forgot about that, its NT555R's that dont.

Biggest they make is a 10mm wide right?

 

My everyday street tires will be 275 wide on all 4 corners. For the track though, probably 255 or 265 in the rear.

 

Yea the nt01 is actually a road race tire, but still its a softer compound, so compared to a true street tire, it would give you better straight line traction along with better cornering, at the price of tire life?
