Default D/R PITA!!!

It seems the last few times I've taken my Stang out the Nitto's have picked up some kind of screw/nail and has to be patched! What a f*ckin' PITA!! Anyone else have this problem?

At least you know they grip the road and whatevers on the road well.[8D]

My last pair, I had a nail go through the driver's side tire. Boy was that frustrating...they were only a few months old too.

I'm getting a new pair for some different wheels, maybe I'll get that tire replacement plan if I go through DT.

I've been on Nitto's (315's on the Cobras and 275's on the Prostars) about 10k miles total, and I haven't had a problem.

stop racing dodge vipers through construction sites like tokyo drift and you'll stop getting lag bolts through the nitto's [:-]
