That being said i got caught in the rain going to lunch one day and on the way back with zero throttle input decelerating on a off ramp i hit a little puddle and hydroplaned and nearly sent the car into the guard rail. These are not worn out tires either maybe 3 weeks of various driving not a DD since they were new.

Still dont know how you guys are hooking a NT05R though i went out yesterday and rolled into it at 70mph and just blows them off. The turbo car doesnt make big power either yet. Maybe they just need some heat and i dont drive the car enough who knows.
How old are your NT05r's? And what psi do you run them at? I run mine at 25psi on the street and they hook really good

I guess they did sit in the garage over winter. They are at 28psi according to the dash. I dont care if they hook or not because they will not hook no matter what once we crank up the boost but it was more just a comment that i am fairly un impressed from a hooking point of view I am glad i decided on a et street for the blower car and not the nt05r which was kicking around my head prior to driving the turbo car on them. They seem to drive decently though i will give them that.

Keep in mind these are also the a 345/19 i imagine with a taller sidewall due to a smaller wheel it would be a better tire.
