How much tire spin do you get on you 1-2 shift? Ive got some pretty terrible tires on mine and i have a huge amount of tire spin when I shift it hard.

not much dude, but I am goes "easier" then I really would. but so far the way I am easing on them they are grabbing pretty hard to be honest with you. I dont feel very much slipping at all actually.

none of this crap:

I would not recommend the Nitto NT555R DR's. Only reason being rain. NT05's are where its at. They hook just as good as the NT555R dr's and they last longer and are awesome in the rain...not to mention they are stout through the twisties as well!!!

Teej reppin' the twisties treads!

Teeg how much are those NT05's and who sells them? Also 49er tires look awesome bro.. Think I might follow your lead when I put the car up for the winter. What tires are you running in the front???

For right now...crappy nankang tires. Cheaper than sumitomos and nexens. Didnt think that was possible did ya? They were on the wheels when I bought them and they have like 20k miles on them and have like no wear at all. its quite funny actually. But come next summer, my summer/racing wheels will probably be Kumho XS's in 315/30-18's on the rear and 265/35-18's or 275/35-18's(idk yet...wanna look more into how they fit. like wide or narrow) and my DD wheels will have NT05's on all 4 corners more than likely. Probably drop back to a 17" wheel for DD and 18's for racing/show. Who knows though. I wish they made the 315/30-18 size cus I would never ever buy another tire ever again cus these things rock!!!

94934 I really like the direction you are going with the exterior of you're car it looks really good, top all of this off with a nice cowl hood and it would be super seeexxxxxxaaaaay. Its like the hottie with the nice booty at the bar, its like a big red aple and I wanna take a bite out of it.

It looks kickass! I'm sure that made a hell of a difference! You can't go wrong with 315's out back!

Any reason going 17's? Car looks great

I have some on the way from Cruizin and went with the Nitto Invo's. I looked into the NT555, NT05 and the NT555R...wet traction is just as important as dry to me, and I have heard/read good things about the Invo's. Not to mention I love the tread lol
