I used these at the drags and powercruise last september . going to use them at powerplay on the 7 february again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For $300 each fitted (17inch) they were excellent with no or limited wheelspin on full take off on the street here in Townsville.A mate here (Ray076) also uses Nitto's on his FG turbo with 380+rwkw and they are pretty good but he can't take off anywhere near full throttle in 1st or 2nd but tyre wear fairly good allround. I told him he needs a semi slick rating for the required grip but he's to much of a scrooge... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only have a treadwear rating of 200, so I know they will wear faster but I would rather grip on a softer tyre and replace them than have a hard tyre with no grip 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(Locky) Member 85 Member For: 10y 11m 11d Gender: Male Posted 30/01/15 09:26 AM Share Posted 30/01/15 09:26 AM What's the tread wear rating on those tyre's mate?I'm not sure what they are exactly, but they are pretty high.But they are kinda a 'cheat' tyre as they have a realitivly high rating to get around a lot of regs in comps and drift, but that's as they have a heap more physical depth before they are on indicators compared to most brandsSo pretty soft for their rating (which I believe may be around the 300s) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
