Sorry, but that is becoming common with a lot of tire places. :mad:

Wow really? That is wack man

Im now wondering if thats something i should worry about. Looks like jegs will have some ready to ship out on the 27th of this month

Drew303 05-18-2016 01:22 PM

well looks like the NT05r's wont work on my nismo due to load rating (talked to nitto rep) and no Mickey thompsons will fit either as the ET Street S/S are for automatics only (spoke to M/T rep as well). Looks like my best option to get some damn traction under boost will be a Pilot Super Sport in a 305 unless anyone has an alternative option I havent considered.

My 305 PSS's don't hook at all in 1-2nd gear.

you do have a few more HP than me but I doubt that would make that much of a difference between traction and no traction with the same tires

Are you staying on stock size 19's? I have a set of R888's for sale in 20's.

Drew303 05-18-2016 02:09 PM

staying with stock rims

First time I have heard of a tire being used for automatics only. Good to know because I was considering those! You mine as well grab yourself a smaller rim for the rear when you want to go out and have some fun.

I just grabbed rpf1's and threw a toyo tq in the back. Blew my diff bushing first day messing around with them. I would say they definitely hook, especially on a roll.

Yea just wanted to give you a heads up on that. I don't see why a AT/MT car would make a difference for if tires would work though?? :confused:

Great price! I found the MT ET Street S/S 305/35 19 $700 for the pair. Good thing I have an A7 since I did not know these were for autos only.

Yes please explain this. I'm no tire junkie but wtf is the difference

I just went with 265/35/19 fronts and 305/30/19 rears and it feels awesome. We had some heavy rain tonight and I couldn't even get this thing to spin unless I dropped the clutch in 1st or floored it in 1st at 5.5k rpm or above and it would still pull while spinning. I cant explain but you would still have a very good sense of control and stability while spinning and it still would pull hard..

+1 for the RE-11's

( This combo also fits in your car just barely with radio and cubby removed for gauge install.. )

Ha!! Jax you better baby that new clutch. My tires ride quieter and smoother too.

Drew303 05-20-2016 01:21 PM

Here are the exact words from my email from M/T:

"Thanks for the email, The manual transmission hit the tires too hard and will cause the radials to spin because the sidewalls cannot flex like the bias ply can.

Thanks,
