Mikey94gt Posted August 31, 2012 Report Share Posted August 31, 2012 Bought a set of Nitto NT01 in 255/40R17, which are basically a DOT-R compound, to do the road course/autox stuff with instead of tearing up my street tires. They will be mounted on some black bullitt wheels I bought off eBay..... Pics to follow, the wheels will be here the 4th, tires on the next day. I'll post a review of them, along with some video. I hope to see a huge improvement over street tires on the track. Here's a pic, not my tires but the same thing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CompOrangeSN95 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 those are titties. Going from a street tire to a sticky ass tire is night and day. First time I ran my g-force r1's it took the better part of 2 sessions on track to get used to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey94gt Posted September 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 I hope I can get used to them that quickly... got a two day event this weekend, and took them out and drove them a bit on the street to get some heat cycles in them.... holy shit do they hook up!... way stickier and more responsive than the street tires, thats for sure. weird to not spin tires in the 1-2 shift... haha.
