Default New shoes arrived

Vetternator received new shoes in the mail yesterday. Been on back order for awhile from Discount Tire but they were the cheapest - by a long shot so worth the wait at $255ea. The NT05R on her now are begging to be retired. lol

Very nice! I'll be looking for replacements here in the near term. How's the performance been for these tires?

Very good if you maintain the concept that these are drag radials and not for canyon carving. Stick very well.

I just put a set of the non drag radial NT05 on my 04. Been happy with them so far. They replaced a set of 7 year old Invo's
