Boca, I had Pirelli's in a 235/35 that fit perfectly, but the Nitto was much narrower in the same size and looked horrible and dangerous. Also, I have a 9.5 inch front rim with a 49et, so it fits and looks perfect.

I have to thank Ari as he advised me he was running a 265 without any issues. With out his comment, I dont know that I would have tried the 265.

If you are short on time as I am, my tire guy has a mobile truck and can install them at your home or office. pm me if you want his info.

 

Hey Martin,
Do you drive on the NT-01's all around?
How are they in the SFL rain? aren't they dangerous?

 

You may want to take a look at this test, I don't think I would go with the Invo's (though I love the looks). I actually just mounted a set of the Hankook V12's on my Supra in a 275/30R19 fornt and 305/30R19 rear.

03 996tt... my car is pretty low... is your car factory height or is lowered? thanks... sure please send me your tire guys info My front wheels are 8.5" wide not 9.5" like yours...

 

i got a set of the Nitto Invos that im selling, they are practically new with about 500 miles on them. selling cheap compared to what you would pay new. let me know 400.00
i can email you pics. if your interested......
I ended up going with the Toyo R888

 

sure send me photos... why did you go to the R888? thanks

 

whats your email. I went with the R888 because they are better for me at the track here and i only drive maybe once or twice a week so i wanted a soft compound and something that was sticky..

 

I've been using Toyo T1R's and they are great... also a full set of 19's can be found for around $1000.

 

I got about 11,000 miles out of the rear's before the steel belts showed through didn't even notice till upgraded my exhaust. I will tell you I had 2 alinement's that were bad till finally went to dealership and got it right in a 2 week time period. So ask around find a good quality shop around you that is specialized in Porsche's suspension so you can get better wear for the rears saves $$$

 

Good to hear
I'm planning on trying Falkens next

 

vegas bail.. vettygd@aol.com thanks

 

Symetrical tires like the ones mentioned are a great old school solution to inner edge wear. If you're running 315x25x19r on a lowered car, you end up with too much camber and or too much toe in for the stock eccentrics to deal with. Either you pop for dog bones and adjustable toe steer link or live with remounting and rotating the tires left to right.

 

Sumi htrZ3, 90% the performance of a PS2, half the cost, double the tire life (rear).

I've never looked back. Even survived 3 track days!

 

VEGAS i'll get those R888 within a month,did you buy them in Tire Direct ?

 

i GOT a friend that woks at Big O Tire and thats where i bought them. They are really the best out there i think. They stick on the ground like no other..
