Nittos really stick. It's like making the car AWD.

I just put on some 555 RII Extremes. Amazing.

305 rears, 285 fronts. I have factory Z06 rims.

Couple of times I was making a left turn from a stop, and punched it while in first - still turning - and it just hooks. Amazing. Can you tell I'm impressed?

I like the feeling that the KUMHO MXs are giving me off the line for a street tire...ran a 13.0 consistently last night on a poopy track!

I have heard great things on those NITTOs!
