Tires NITTO or FEDERAL

Nitto 555s on my Shelby were the best tire I've ever had on a car.they were super sticky and quiet.

Neo Gens are awesome when it comes to stretch.

I've always had luck with Neogen's and they tend to stretch really well.

I'm running 215/40-18 Nitto Neogen's on my 9.5" without a problem.

I actually also like the NT-05 for track days primarily for the price. They are about as good in the dry as the RE-11's, better than the PSS but tend to get a bit noisy on the highway at certain speeds once they start to wear down.

While 255/35/19 still worked just fine, I feel that 245/35/19 is the best set up on a 19x8.5 rims. the outer lip of the tires will protect the rims, as the 245 tires will not be stretched on 8.5 rims.

I like the nitto 555r but smallest they have is 245/50r16.. would that fit on a 16x7 rim?

Never had any issues with neogen, had them on quite a few sets of wheels.

I currently have these tires on my mk2 in 165-45r15 on some porsche phonedials. They are awesome because they exist in sizes that the general population doesn't care about and they are super cheap. The down side..... They have sh!tty grip and the sidewalls are made of spaghetti. They feel like poop in the turns. But hey, for how cheap they are I can't really complain.

Mine lasted 2.. but only because they were worn almost to the belt at the end of the second summer. I should have tossed them after the first summer of use...
