jescam Member 55 Member For: 20y 4m 5d Location: NSW Sth Coast Posted 10/08/12 04:23 AM Share Posted 10/08/12 04:23 AM I have 245/35 x 19 NT05's on the rear of my car and they are pretty cr@p. No where near what I expected.I am considering going to a different set of rims, and putting 275's invos on the rear..........hopefully they will grip better!?

However, I didn't expect them to grip as bad as they do after some of the comments I have read about them.I expected them to grip a substantial amount better than the cheaper tyres I had on previously, which came on the rims when I bought them,however this wasn't the case.They did grip a bit better, but not as good as I expected.It is very difficult to accelerate with any degree of urgency with them at all.Pressure is at 30-32 psi, for daily driving.Put on some stock rubber and video yourself "testing" them for scientific purposes, should be a laugh.I don't need stock rubber on to be a laugh...........these are bad enough! After reading another thread, the Michelin Pilot Sports sound like they might be worth a try? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chucked them on the fronts and WOW - cornering massively improved. All I could put it down to was worn suspension in the rear not allowing full potential...but the new KU31's gripped well? When new anyway, not so great once worn down. The Invos seem to be able to grip even past the treadwear indicators...so I hear. New set on the front are holding up well too.
