Tires

[lnfletcher]

Just about any high performance tire will cause your car to dart on a rutted road. Does the same on my 2011 GT Mustang when I went with a higher performance design.

I'm running Mickey Thompson Street Comp Ultra High Performance Tires and love them.
But they too, dart on a rutted asphalt road, not so much on concrete.

hauss,

Manners? High performance? Maybe that's a "just pick one?"

As to jumping around, there are a number of other things other than tires that can make that worse:

Alignment: toe-in, caster, camber

Condition and adjustment of the front shocks,

Play in any of the front suspension components or steering (remember if they are there - the u-joints in the steering shaft - those were only slightly loose on mine but had a big effect).

Hope this helps,

Tom

Nitto NT-01. They're a track tire, not a drag tire like NT-05. Would I drive either one in the rain? No.

Swift,

Don't do like I did and get the tire labels confused: the NT-05 is a wear rating 200 street tire. If you want to go drag racing, add R so you get NT-05R.

The NT-05 is OK in the rain. Not outstanding, but adequate. The NT-05R would be dicey...

Nitto says the "R" designation has a wear rating of 00 LOL

The NT-01s are intended for road racing and have a wear rating of 100.
