Just Bought New Tires :)

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 **** 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 $$

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

Ahh Life is good


Drag and occasional street race tires (for the front)


These Sticky Nitto's for regular driving and occasioanly the back set on the back when I put the drags on in the front.

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.
