Sticky tires for FI

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

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.

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
