255/35/20 vs 255/40/20?

The Nitto NT-05 is a streetable track tire. It has a very stiff sidewall and will ride just as harsh as your RE070R RFT tires built for the GT-R.

Hmm i see so what tires would you consider for my front? any good brands? 255/35/20 or would 245/40/20 be smarter choice and smoother ride. but then again the front wheels is 20X9.5 i would be stretching wouldnt I?

Yes, ideally you want between 255/35/20 and 275/30/20 for the 9.5 rim.

What are your plans for driving? Do you do any track or auto-x? What is more important to you, compliant quiet ride or performance?
