Nitto's are on..
I had my 275 Nittos put on today & they have completely eliminated any wheelhop. I was surprised with the traction, I tried Nittos several years ago on another car of mine and was completely unsatisfied with them. I can't say that anymore....
I'm running them with 30psi on the street, hopefully that will be enough air to let them wear evenly. Does anyone recommend a different PSI for cruising around on the street?

RE: Nitto's are on..
I have mine at about 22-24psi.. but i have 315's... I would drop the PSI a lil bit to make sure they wear even.. a lot of people have issues with the middle wearing much quicker...
On a seperate note.. American Gladiators is on!! w00t!!! lol

That sounds good Dan... you don't have anything else done to your suspension for wheel hop have you? I would still get a Billetflow IRS brace sometime.... I'm gettin one put on mine sometime this week.

Nitto tires are great. I just bought a set of Nitto Invos for my stang and I love them. They are very sticky at the track and perfect for allot of driving. Great dry performance, quiet, great wet performance and awesome handling. Nitto is the uber tire!

RE: Nitto's are on..
I have gone thru three sets of them. My first set with 245s I ran at 18-20 PSI, same with my 275s, an I run my 315s between 20 and 22 PSI. I have never had wear issues with any of them.
It makes a BIG difference on the nittos going from even 25 to 18 PSI. I go from massive tire spin to no tire spin in 1st gear going from 25 to 18.
They aren't the best drag tire in the world, but if you have to compromise between a tire that sticks good and one that doesn't wear right off the rim in 5K miles the nittos are your only choice
