I'm in the market for new tires before spring and wondering if anybody here has any personal experince with them? I'm planning on running 295/35 18 in the rear, and 265/35 18 up front. Seem to have had pretty good reviews on some other sites, and they are in my price range.

Let me know what you think? Thanks!

These are excellent. We put 4500 miles on a brand new set that we recently drove cross country to SEMA, raced at the Optima Invitational, then drove home. These are 200 wear rated, and great for street and autocross. As you can see, we even ran them on the road course.

Another good NITTO tires in a higher treadwear is the INVO. I put about 4000 miles on the set on the Kuda, before changing them out for the NT05 to get more grip on the track. We even autocrossed the INVO at the RTTH 5 event this year.

We sell the crap out of them, to the vette guys and viper guys as well. They all love them.

Thank you for you trusted input!!!:1st:

I really had planned on running the BFG kdw2's until the more I researched about them the more I hear people complain about how incredibly noisy they are.... not that that is a huge concern - QTP cutout, but why not have what sounds like better traction and less noise... for when I have a lady friend of something in the car.

Jon - Thanks again for the help on the steering wheel. Would you wanna quote me out a set in the sizes posted above.

I have NT05's on my Pontiac and ran them at the Autox in Del Mar this year. These things hook up! And that's on a big old A-Body like my car.
