Default 275/35/19 Nitto NT05 on stock brembos

just FYI, they fit nicely on stock brembo wheels. overall diameter should be .4" less, but honestly they're maybe 1/4" taller than worn out pirellis. no rubbing and I'm lowered a little bit. those who don't want these because they fear they may be too short, i wouldn't worry about it.

before (pirelli 255/40/19):



after (nitto 275/35/19):

Why wouldn't you just put on 275/40-19s? They're a nearly perfect match in diameter and sidewall to the 245/45-19s that came on my GT Premium and all the tires I've looked at in that size will work with a 9" rim according to the manufacturer's data.

they're quieter than my worn out pirellis. the noise isn't an issue for me. the ride is nice, and they can be pushed a fair amount more before you begin to hear them squeal.

i pay more attention to the NVH from my panhard bar (maximum motorsports bar) than i do from my tires.

Where did you buy them? I'm looking at possibly getting the NT01's for racing next season. They look good by the way.
