hey guys-

trying to find a place selling Nitto NT01's 315/30 18 for a decent price- so far havent been able to find anyone and seems DTD just carries up to 275.


any ideas?

 

call up a local discount tire and check with them. they can easily order them for ya

 

good deal - wasnt sure- figured the board would know as they know all.


sidenote- curious about opinions-


I drive maybe 15 miles a day so not really worried about treadwear/longevity, but plan on doing some aggressive autocross every couple weeks. planning on running 315 NT01's in the rear and 275 NT01's in the front. figure its either gonna kick *** or kick me in the ***.

 

Well, as far as I've read/heard, they're supposed to be like the 555R2's, but better! I'm sure they'll be one helluva street/track tire (with the exception, of course, of long life and performance in deep water ).

 

one other question-

275x40 17
315x30 18

anyone think thats gonna look odd with the sidewall differences? unfortunately choices are pretty limited in this tire

 

Off topic but, iam gunna assume ur keeping ur car now?

 

lol - ya...

i just dropped about 5k in suspension and rims/tires
couple months gonna redo the bodywork...


so much for getting rid of her and being responsible

 

Ur doing the right thing. haha

 

The only thing is that the NT-01 is an R compound tire with no tread wear rating where as the 555R2 has a 100 TWR.

I'd expect the autox will eat the tires faster than the 15 miles/day.
