Thinking about getting a set of 19's for the rear and fitting them with NT05R's P345/30R19. Anyone run this setup? Will I run into any issues with these rear tires and the stock Super Cups up front? TIA
This is the exact setup I will be running as soon as NorCalss gets more in stock later this month. 19x12 reproduction rears with nt05r's. Should be perfect since it will retain a stock-ish look and will have much more traction!
maybe the tires, not the rims. how many miles on them, why are you getting rid of them? Thanks
Tires are at least 75%. They have just been on and off the car; I don't know the exact miles. I am looking to sell both tires and rims if anyone is interested. They have the correct tpms to keep the car's computer happy.
For those with them, how is the handling with these Nitto drag radials?
it depends on your definition of handling....for instance I took an on-ramp with a buddy in my car who has never done HPDE track stuff in his life, and I run those tires out back, he thought the car handled fantastic (as his face is planted on the window lol -j/k), and that was only at 1/2 tilt (in comparison to that same on-ramps with my R compounds on)....so to him, they handle great...to me, I found them a bit uneasy and soft, obviously because they are not meant to do that (and I honestly had forgotten they were back there...lol).
Leave it as it may be, I would say they do fine (I do run 30psi in them), but can/will feel weird to you if you are used to high g turns with R compounds or better... hope it helps ?
ps: I rune those out back and NTO5 up front for Daily driving, and in the rain, I'm just careful since the backs do not have a whole lot of thread but it seems the two groves going around the tires do better than the R888 "arrow" grooves have thus far....
ps2: I might be willing to sale my rears, they have about 60-70% left on the threads...was thinking going to a full set of "normal" tires...let me know if you are interested we can talk about it.

If your willing to split the tires from the rims pm me a price. Thanks
It seems like every drag radial I have read about all feel wiggly, squirmy at speed, Is this fact or does someone know of a DR that does not? I believe they all will have this feeling at speed.
