Default Tire size.

I'm getting a new set of tires and have pretty much narrowed it down to 2.

The Nitto RIIs,
285/35/18, 305/35/18

or

The Nitto NT-01s
275/35/18, 315/30/18

The tires will go on a set of Z06 MS wheels, 18X9.5 and 18X10.5.

Which set of these tires will fit better?

Has anybody had any experience with the new NT-01s?? I know they're suppose to be real good in the corners, but I wonder how will they handle 460+rwhp in a straigtline.

The 555 Rlls will fit those wheels very well and are about as sticky as you can get with a DOT approved tire. Their breakaway is predictable and the large block tread looks great and puts a lot of rubber on the road. I don't have any rain experience with the Rlls so I can't comment on that.
