Not many choices with my stock 16' rims so i went with a Nitto NT555R 245/50/16 200% better, still spins a little with the nitrous in first gear, but drop the pressure to 20lbs and it hooks relatively well smile

Well as far as track times yes im ready, test and tune is at the end of the month! your question of cornering, it feels the same as before, no rubs and i can turn the wheel all the way as in a u-turn fine. Price $300.05 discount tire, my friend works there. Life expectancy, who cares smile

Been through one of those in october... I really like the Nitto's even on the street they like to hook and book... I will be mounting them to some different rims and only using them for special occurrences from now on though...

I think the OP was edited to add that info after I asked. It wasn't there when I posted the question, I swear! Thanks for pointing it out though!
