Tires NITTO or SUNNY

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.

We have a set of Sunny tires on our 98 Cavalier 4dr auto. (Used as summer only). Also a dedicated set of Cooper winter tires. As a summer only tire they have been fine for the last ~60,000km+ and the only reason for buying them is they were cheap, the car is old and getting pretty high in mileage. Wasn't sure how long it would last to be honest. It has surprised me and I figure the next set I buy will be a brand name all season for the summer only to have the car inevitably crap out shortly after.

They slip like crazy in my g in the rain. NT05s in 285 width. Good dry performance. Scares me a little on raining freeway rides.

Wrote my car off into an enbankment on NT05's in the rain while driving normally.
