Tires YOKOHAMA or NITTO

Put some super grippy Yokohama's on there and problem solved...

I'm running Yokohama S-Drive's in 195/40's for my 9" and the stretch is good.

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 replaced the Yokos with 215/65R-16 Yokohama AVID Ascend tires. No complaints with them. It has a very high treadwear, which we need because the Tig is our workhorse vehicle.

i had some nt555 on my last car....... great tire....... but horrible wet traction

I whole-heartedly un endorse the Yokohama YK580 that Discount Tire sells exclusively. As I said earlier in the thread 2.5 years ago, I put them on both my vehicles and I loved them at first. They drove great and were quiet. But I got nowhere near the 60k warranty on our Passat or Rout. Only got about 30k on the Rout.
