Yea, most R type tires will heat cycle too quickly on the street as a DD. Mileage isn't that great on the street either. That's why I never put Sport Comps or any R type tire on.

The most I would say you would get out of R888 is like 10k and yeah heat cycle in warm weather as a daily would be pretty quick.

soooooo verdict is: staying with RE-11's in 265/305.

possibly gonna get spare set of rear wheels and run DRs on them at the strip.

:tup:

That's what will be delivered today I'll post after I get BP kit installed:driving:

Interesting. I am also installing all the SPL arms in the rear, including the rear toe links. hopefully i will get out to the track sometime soon. :happydance:

I changed out the suite of rear bushing to SPL and upgraded my rear end and yes there is quite a difference in power to the ground according to my butt dyno and I have a very sensitive butt! :icon23::icon17:

:icon23: :nutswinger: :rofl2: :D

I just had RE-11's installed today and these things stick to the road like glue!

Fronts: 265/35/19
Rears: 305/30/19 w/ 20mm spacers

Looks good now drop that bad boy 1 to 1.5 inches and you will be good to go!

Nice! The Mustang guys switch out every bushing in the back. Sub frame, Diff, Toe arm, upper and lower control arms, and anything else I am forgetting.

I also did the impact bushing, z1 urethane transmission and z1 solid motor mounts. The car is rock solid and if you are sensitive to noise I would not do the sub frame bushings as they will make some noise during deceleration more so than all the other upgrades. I don't mind it at cause it sound like a race car lol. You will also get a whine from upgrading to a solid diff diff bushing too. And you may get some cracking and popping from the SPL upper arms and impact bushing too...just get them greased the best you can. Mine creek when making slow hard turns like backing out of my driveway! I think that sums it up pretty well. :tiphat:

After doing some research Im leaning towards Nitto NT05R in 305's. Anyone here running these with good results?

I used them on my crossfire, was able to cut 1.8 consistently with a 12.0, good price and great traction, not an everyday tire, I drove on it for a few weeks, never in the rain but it is a noisy tire

just got a set of them, but not mounted yet and my cars still not out of the shop, but i'll let u know how they are

so.... went to order some NT05r's and looks like they are sold out/back order everywhere. Anyone heard how long until they are available again?

NT05r 305/35/19, they stick a crap ton better than s04 at the track. My rear camber is at -.05.

I still need more practice at the track as I still bog or spin out.

They are back ordered everywhere. I got mine off ebay. The only place that had them.

do you remember which vendor had them????

it was from directlinewheels on ebay, i had a very good experience ordering from them, they sent me text messages throughout the process with updates.

2 New P305 35R19 Nitto NT05R 305 35 19 Performance 27 44" 0BB Tires 207 570 | eBay

anyone with the NT05r's had a shop tell you they wont mount them? I had discount tire tell me they wont mount them because of the load rating as in the Z is too heavy for these tires?!?

Sorry, but that is becoming common with a lot of tire places. :mad:

Wow really? That is wack man

Im now wondering if thats something i should worry about. Looks like jegs will have some ready to ship out on the 27th of this month

well looks like the NT05r's wont work on my nismo due to load rating (talked to nitto rep) and no Mickey thompsons will fit either as the ET Street S/S are for automatics only (spoke to M/T rep as well). Looks like my best option to get some damn traction under boost will be a Pilot Super Sport in a 305 unless anyone has an alternative option I havent considered.

My 305 PSS's don't hook at all in 1-2nd gear.

you do have a few more HP than me but I doubt that would make that much of a difference between traction and no traction with the same tires

Are you staying on stock size 19's? I have a set of R888's for sale in 20's.

staying with stock rims

First time I have heard of a tire being used for automatics only. Good to know because I was considering those! You mine as well grab yourself a smaller rim for the rear when you want to go out and have some fun.

I just grabbed rpf1's and threw a toyo tq in the back. Blew my diff bushing first day messing around with them. I would say they definitely hook, especially on a roll.

Yea just wanted to give you a heads up on that. I don't see why a AT/MT car would make a difference for if tires would work though?? :confused:

Great price! I found the MT ET Street S/S 305/35 19 $700 for the pair. Good thing I have an A7 since I did not know these were for autos only.

Yes please explain this. I'm no tire junkie but wtf is the difference

I just went with 265/35/19 fronts and 305/30/19 rears and it feels awesome. We had some heavy rain tonight and I couldn't even get this thing to spin unless I dropped the clutch in 1st or floored it in 1st at 5.5k rpm or above and it would still pull while spinning. I cant explain but you would still have a very good sense of control and stability while spinning and it still would pull hard..

+1 for the RE-11's

( This combo also fits in your car just barely with radio and cubby removed for gauge install.. )

Ha!! Jax you better baby that new clutch. My tires ride quieter and smoother too.

Here are the exact words from my email from M/T:

"Thanks for the email, The manual transmission hit the tires too hard and will cause the radials to spin because the sidewalls cannot flex like the bias ply can.
