NT01 Poll in C6 Z06 section
The Nitto NT01 is a DOT legal, R compound (TWR 100) that is ideal for those of us who what a tire to drive to the track, run laps, then drive home. However, it has only been available in C5 sizes. Just talked with John Wu at Nitto. In order for them to build this tire in our size (rear only, front exists now), they would like to see how much interest exists. This would be for the stock C6 Z06 size, 325/30-19, since regular C6 owners could squeeze this tire onto their stock rims also. Once this poll is up and running, I will email the link John at Nitto so they can make a decision.

I don't think you can squeeze a 325/30-19 onto a 10 inch rim - not with acceptable performance, at any rate. I can't see what they recommend because the Nitto site seems to be another borken Flash mess, but I'm not inclined to think it would work.

The tire isn't offered in that size, that is what this poll is for, to try and get them to build it as they currently don't offer any 19" sizes. For C6 owners, you would have to upgrade to wider rims,which is what you have to do currently (at least to 18" rims) anyway if you want "R" compound rubber on the back.
