Still street legal.Toyo R888, Dunlop DZ03G, Yoko A050 etc.MT radial will give you the best legal straight line power down for rears at the expense of everything else.

Gonadman2 Member 140 Member For: 18y 2m 10d Gender: Male Location: Perth - WA Posted 29/11/11 12:44 AM Share Posted 29/11/11 12:44 AM I picked up some Nitto NT-05 recently and they have been excellent. I had a short run with a mate (on a private closed road of course) in his very modified VY SS ute and my stock FG F6 will pull a full length on him through first gear. With grip the F6's are very fast cars. I wonder whether Ford deliberately neuter their high performance sedan's performance by putting sh*t tyres on them?
