Yep, called Discount tire and special ordered some P225/45/R18 Nitto NT 555's, when I pull the SS out on March 1st these go on, I have them in Layway right now and plan on putting on my Weapon-R torque brace (I have already), These Nittos and buying stage 2 after the other shit is on. The Nittos are a nicer and wider tire then the pirelli's I have (which are bald by the way). I personally think those P-Zeros are garbage, especially for the price $$ :thumbsdow

When I get the Nittos on and stage kit I will then buy a set (2) of the 17' N/A SS rims and throw a pair of NT 01 drags (225/45 ZR17 91W) on the front to take to the strip and occasion street racing nights. Traction won't be an issue after that :twothumbs

Ahh Life is good :cool:

I've been thinking about doing the same thing..although I'd get 4 tires for autocrossing, Falken Azenas for example. I just have to see if they make them big enough to fit the 17" rims.

Nice tires...
I went redneck and put BF Goodrich Radial T/A whiteletters on 15" Motegi MR7 15" wheels... I couldn't stand listening to the hubcaps rattle anymore!

At the time, I couldn't swing the payments on an SS/SC, and the salesman fucked up my order for my base coupe, so i ended up buy an 05 coupe right off the truck.

It had hubcaps... i hate hubcaps.
