Like the tire, like the grip, I don't know whether I would suggest them or not because they are kinda expensive
$379.99 a tire (19's are more expensive)

ill add my old tires as well

225/45/17 Yokohama s.Drives

great turning response, good traction, good price, but the compound is a little hard for summer tires at 300. very quiet when loosing grip

would reccomend for people that are looking for a nice all around summer tire.

Nitto-185.jpg

Nitto NeoGen 225/40/18
I've owned two sets of these, one on my LT and the other on my SS/TC.

On the LT I was running Sportlines and koni inserts, they were amazing ask Tom or Andy about chasing them down around corners (Andy had a SS/TC on KW1 coilovers) very predictable and surprised me more than once with how much grip they had.

On the SS/TC I still love them, even moreso with how neutral the car is to begin with. Time will tell how long I can keep the rubber on em though :lol:

Equally at home on wet or dry pavement. Very quiet tire.

Best tires I've ever owned, and the set mounted and balanced was only $500!

Yeah. If I remember correctly the NT05s don't do too well in the rain.

It doesn't rain here :lol:

And if it does for some crazy reason, i just don't drive.

Lol wish I had the option. How do those Invos do in the rain? I was considering a set but figured I'd just get NeoGens for now.

On a side note my driver side front tire got a hole in the side wall today....bought them on the 16th.....gotta buy another one now because I dont like sidewall patches.
