Dennis,

Dunno what he used LOL

I just put on a set of Nitto NT05 street tires (NOT the NT05R race tires). I've run them both on trips of several hundred miles and on a track during a DE event. They worked really well for both; I was comfortable cruising to the track and pushing the car while on the track.

I use 275/40/17 on 9.5" rims front and 315/35/15s on 11" rims on the rear.

I like 'em. Getting ready to do a 600 mile cruise on them this weekend.

They even work (somewhat!) when it's raining.

The downside is they have a wear rating of 200 which means they won't last more than say 10K miles or so which is fine with me. Much stickier than the Michelin Pilots they replaced.

Tom
