Tracking Base Wheels... Tire Choices
Okay i "think" i have decided on a Road race tire for my track (base) wheels.
Nitto NT555 - 245/45/18 - 275/40/18 Does anyone have experience with these tires? - Good for 1/4 mile? - Good for Road Course? Thanks all, :tiphat: p.s. they're $630 shipped for 4!! |
of all tires, why nitto? :icon08:
|
I remember car magazines back in the day used to promote the hell out of Nitto tires.
Hell, they even had a game if I recall correctly. no experience, but you get what you pay for. this also includes tires as well. |
ive actually tried NT555's in the canyons on my other car a while back. almost crashed cause it would not give progressive feedback.
grip grip grip LOOSE! :eekdance: |

Okay... so if the 555's blow, what's a cheap tire to track on 18's ? |
i suppose if you want to drift with them they could work. :icon17:
|
Was thinking more of staying withing the limits of adhesion. Faster and cheaper on tires. But would be hella fun :rofl2:

I had 245/45/17 NT555's on my Mustang back in the day. IMO for a cheap tire they're pretty grippy but I was running them on the street (i.e. NOT pushing the limits of their traction). They wore out pretty quick but I guess that's normal for a soft tire.
|
I don't track the Z so I don't buy a grippy tire. Instead, I look for a tire that will give high mileage. I don't see the percentage in buying cheap tires when you have to replace them twice as often or more. But that's me. I'll stick with my Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus.

Can the base 18" wheels fit 245/275? I'd be afraid that it'd sort of 'mushroom' out, y'know?
But if the option is viable, I'd rock some Hankook V12s on them. Despite the soft side-walls. |
Anyone try Yokohama S-Drives?

If you go that wide your going to need atleast a 10mm spacer in front to not rub the inside of the tire on the upper control arm.
