Thanks guys for the info and the reviews! Regarding the nittos, I have seen the nt05r and the nt05. One tends to have more of the street tire look and may be better if you get caught in the rain. Do they both hook just as good, or is the nt05r the better one to have with it looking more like a drag tire?

the nt05r is a drag radial version of the nt05, that's what I would get if I were in your shoes... most of the guys in this section only drive these cars in good weather and if you fall into that category I wouldn't worry about the wet traction so much... if you do happen to get caught they will still be fine in normal to moderate rain as long as you don't drive like a fool

600rwhp and running the NT05R's. I have 18" NT05's up front and 19" NT05R's in rear, really like the combo.

If it still spins from a 65 roll, how would that be better? Are you talking about a 700+ HP car? In any event, I never drive the car in the rain, mostly because it rarely rains here.
