im running Michilin (spell check) pilot sports. I love them! and there's a tire warehouse right down the road that has TONS of used tires. Its where 007 used to work. I got my tires used for $35 each with the tits still on them, no plugs or patches, and they were 285s! _________________

i have the NT05R's on the Fox...they're sticky. Do not, I repeat do not drive them in the rain if you get the R's. I did some donuts on I-40 going 65mph. No fun _________________

| Lots of people like the NT-05R's. I would of got them, but the life expectancy is short and heard they suck in the rain. I got the 555R's for street tires and they are perfect for DD. |

DD!?! They come from the factory with 6/32nds of tread depth! That's nearly bald! _________________ 13.03@104.9 mph. ARH LT's, MAC O/R Prochamber, FRPP 4.10's Moroso Spiral Flows, GT500 STB. |

| On all of my high powered cars it's a miracle if I got 6 months out of a set of rears. Tread depth don't mean anything if it doesn't stay on the tires. |
