NITTO Tire Replacements

[SPF2948]

My NITTOs are facing a fifth season and this has me thinking about replacements. The NITTOs have so hardened that I can spin them at most speeds the car will regularly see.

I plan on replacing the 245s on the front with 275s - likely NITTO NR01s. I'd like to replace the 315s on the rear with 335s - likely Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials.

My question is, will the SPF's running gear handle the strain that the new tires will introduce?

Held up to MT slicks at drag strip, every one that I know is putting on the MT's seems to be the tire of choice for replacement.

I just put NT05R. They are ok but not really happy with the handling of the tire.

Is anyone else running these and any comments?

Has Anyone tried the toyo proxes r888 on the street?
I need to replace my five year old Kumho ECSTA XS tires and need a sticky replacement, but not so sticky that they throw every pebble onto the side of my car.

NT01s for street, autocross use. Love this tires performance.

Would appreciate anyones insight for these tires also.
Going to invest in Toyo 888 or Nitto Invo.. or ?

Weekend Street and some spirited track runs.

Already know the life expectancy of performance tire is low... and it is a fairweather car.

So.. basically what is the best way to blow my tax return?

NT01s on a high horsepower car.

Completely takes all the drama out of it.

Other stuff starts to break, so be careful at first.

true... and already thinking about difft tranny... axles.. who knows..
the motor is just a mild ford crate 351.
The car now with the HARD BFG's just spins around and does it go kart tricks.......
