Do you have a point??

 

hey kevin i have a present for you. i got you a nitto catalog, as i suspected treadwear on the 05 and 01 isssssssssssssssssssss 00. the 555 is 100.

 

Those are just for the radials. The street 05 and 555 are a bit higher.

 

The street 555s are 300
Nt05s are 200
Nt01s are 100 according to their site

 

your right my bad. even still the treadwear is nothing to the 05. couple passes down the track and they would be gone.


i have already took off half of my 555. to give you a idea.

 

I have had 2 sets of nt05s and they last me a summer

 

My NT555's lasted me 2 years and still looked pretty decent, and they have been on my friend's TVS car since spring and they have about 50% tread left as of now. My R888's have a 100 treadwear rating and at 6k miles they still look great You guys are hard on tires! lol

 

Ya but 6000miles on a set of tires is not much for a DD

 

i put on considerable more miles i would think. i also dont know what your pavement is like but ours is fairly coarse.

 

But at this 6,000 miles I am saying they are nowhere near through even half their life. My NT555's had 30k on them, if not a bit more, and probably 10k miles of that were on the front, and about 7k more miles on them now that Trevor has them on the front and they are still at about 50% tread left. BUT a lot of it is in how you drive and how much you spin them. I don't roast mine much, believe it or not lol

 

I spin y tires in second all the time cause I think it's funny

 

Well I mean I do that from time to time

 

Mark you still OK to help me with my car sat?

 

Mark and I were out and I scared a ladie my tires squeeled so loud beside her merging at 60km

 

Lol that's awesome. My tires don't really ever squeal.

 

without a doubt we are not afraid to roast them here. but the material they use in the pavement would make a huge difference. also we have a ton of construction here, road conditions are not great. there is alot of loose gravel too, chews up soft compound tires pretty good. in 2 months i have had my car running i have put on 6000 miles. when race city was open, 1 night there would take half the life of a tire away. lol


the top layer on the #1 highway is like coated in extra sharp rocks. almost diamond like hahahahahaha

 

I would think road material is about the same. You definitely put on more miles. I've also noticed when it comes to a performance tire on a car that doesn't get driven a ton, a soft tire sometimes lasts nearly as long as a harder one simply because you don't spin as much as a harder tire, so there is less wear from that, but the overall life of just driving around will be shorter on a softer tire. In my case it probably about evens out.

 

Ya true I found it the same my stock tires lasted me a summer as well as my way softer NT05s because the Nittos could plant the power

 

i believe we are good to go on sat kevin. i will let you know more as the week goes on.

i dont think i am the easiest on tires thats for sure. i have no issues with lighting them up.

 

I have been known to do rolling burnouts down the interstate before a race to make sure they get a little sticky, I'll admit that

 

If that 200 shot doesn't blow the welds on the intake you'll have traction issues too.
Perfect I'm gonna grab your favorite for sat

I bet doing highway speed burnouts will heat up those soft R compounds nicely!!

 

200 shot or bust man lol. so taylor how long you think the car will run after a 200 shot? think it would hold together long enough to spank kevin?

 

I do not recommend a 200 shot by any means lol

 

so what your saying is we should wait for you to come here so you can witness the firework show?

 

Haha that's a no. But if it does hold together and you do win why not run a 300 shot and race Taylor
