[QUOTE="not2melo, post: 5713, member: 90"] Well finally got a chance to pull the trigger on some new tires for the car as the exchange rate was very close to par. Purchased a set of Nitto NT05 tires for some extreme traction with the new found power of the cam and other mods. These tires are amazing, the traction and handling a quite impressive, I went with a lower profile so that helped a bit with tire flex, gone are the old Firestone SZ50EP run flats. The rear tires when toasted down to the wear indicators but the fronts still have around 7 the dealer said with a tire gauge, the fronts will be up for sale soon is someone is interested (245-45-17's). Anyways, had the new rubber put on the other day by Beverly Tire in Cambridge, Andrew and the guys are great there and do a fantastic job . The guys where all checking out the tires as they thought they where a set of race tires. When I left it was raining and the car handled quite well, maybe a little less traction maybe then the Firestones but not bad with the 3:73 rear gears just have to go a bit easy on the gas pedal. The ride is much better with the Nittos, no real sound issues with the tires as the Corsa exhaust is so noisy anyways but I am very happy with this product so far in the looks, performance and handling aspects. Ah Manny I know your drooling right now...... Four Nitto NT05 tires, 255-40-17's and 295-35-18's [URL=http://img268.imageshack.us/i/nittont05x4.jpg/][IMG]http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/5351/nittont05x4.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Close up front tire.
