Looking to put new tires on the GT-r. I have a 2009 GT-r with only 9,000 miles on it. The stock tires are on the car and still have plenty of tread left but I'm looking to change them anyway. I don't road race the car, only take it to the drag strip and drive around in the spring/summer/fall. Car is not my DD and is asleep for the wonderful Chicago winters...ha.
Was looking at:
REAR: Nitto NT 555R : 305/35R/20
FRONT: NItto NT05 : 255/35ZR/20
Stock Sizes are:
Front: 255//40/20
Rear:285/35/20
Been searching for a while on the boards and have confused myself with the setups people are running on STOCK rims. I do not want to change the stock rims as I really enjoy the stock look. I keep finding threads on the NItto NT05R Drag Radial and people saying they use those on the fronts? Would you use those on the rears and keep a street tires on the front?
THe R888's look more like a road racing tire and I'm not as interested in that type of performance tire.
Looking for advice/experience on what will fit with no problems on the GT-r. Really would like to improve my 60FT at the dragstrip...
