Well I think Im going to order a new set of Continental Extreme Contact DWS for everyday driving. Been pretty happy with the treadwear, road noise, decent grip ect. I have a spare set of rear tires, I figured what the hell, might as well throw a set of tires for the track on em for the hell of it. Was thinking the Nitto NT05R. My stock rear’s are 275/40/19 and the rim is 9.5’’ wide, so It’d have to be something to work with that. Any suggestions? Been ordering a ton of stuff for the car, pads, rotors, wheels ect, figure what the hell! Bought this car to have fun, im gonna do it! ---

The nto5 is a great tire , but I would recomend the 555r as it lasts longer and ya can drive em on the highway just fine . Nto5 tends to wear out quick on the highway like the mickeys do . ---

I’m a huge fan of Bridgestone Potenza RE11s. I have about 4-5 sets in my garage right now. For a daily and a more luxury car like yours, I’d get something with more comfort than any max performance summer tire though. ---

I agree with cossey, the RE-11 kick ass. For drag the nitto might be better, but that’s hard to say. ---

I cant find them in the required sizes after a quick search. Looking for a decent tire for ever day use and then a radial or something to play around with (just has to be in 275/40/19) ---

Try Dunlop Direzzas as well. Not as good in the wet though. I have RE11s in 275/30/19 or 35/19 on my CSL rep wheels. I’d just run those. ---

The bridgestones aren’t gonna hold em back like a nitto will . RE11s are street tires ya dummy. Not even an R-compound. 180 UTQG rating I believe. > [@Jordan Vs.
