NT05 or RE11 or AD08?

cossie1600 · 09-02-2010, 09:02 AM

I have stock suspension, but feel free to play with yours to get it to turn. I have tried everything, car doesn't want to turn unless I do something stupid. If you want a fast time, you just have to wait to get back on the throttle

+1. IMHO, the best price/ performance balance. I kind of want to stay with 18s so I can use them.

I love the AD-08s. So much so that I am contemplating getting rid of my R-Compounds. They are great on the street and feel very close to my BFG R-1s on the track. Well worth the money.

I thought someone corrected me last time that they DO make the AD08's in 19... you guys sure they don't? I know they didnt use to...

OMGWTFBBQ · 09-02-2010, 12:14 PM

They're talking about the Direzza Star Specs not made in 19", not the AD08.

Ahh, man I gotta focus haha.

Instead of the NT05's what about the iNVO's or Neo-Gens vs the RE-11's?

cossie1600 · 09-02-2010, 02:57 PM

its like comparing a nissan versa at the track against a gtr, they are crap tires

Why are you comparing the sh1tty Invos and Neogens??? Invos do well with stretch and Neogens do well with negative cambers. As far as grips go, NT05s piss on those two.

Versa/Sentra vs. 370Z.

when they mention a type of tire at drift events, just run far far away

Ok, maybe the 05's are perfect for tracking, but since I won't be tracking the car very often if at all, I don't need ridiculous grip, or responses for that matter...

NT05's are good street tires, thats what Im running now. Pretty bad in the rain, but driveable nonetheless. Great dry weather tire, but they are pretty loud..

RE-11's will solve all those issues.

It also makes you faster because your wallet will be lighter therefore better power to weight ratio.
