There was golf ball sized snowflakes falling from the sky at one point but nothing was really sticking.. then it turned into sleet, then back to huge snowflakes.. then seemed to have quit. Haven't looked outside in several hours, but I don't expect much to come of it.

What were they calling for again? 4-6 inches? LULZ!

I got bored and tossed the summer rims back on the car.

Trying to choose between a NT01 or RA1 for Spring/summer use.

Ohhhh....and i suck at pictures and posting them on the computer.

Neither.Those are track/race tires.There are plenty of high performance street tires that have way more grip than you should be using on the street,that will more than fill any needs you have.R compound tires wear really fast,have very little grip until hot,have practically no grip in the rain,have more grip in the dry than you should ever,ever be using on the street and are expensive.They're great track tires once you've gotten plenty of track experience,but that's about all they're good for.

Wheels look really good

^^^ I agree.

I dont DD the car anymore.....so i figure i will throw some super stick tires on there.

i know alot of people that daily drive with RA1's....but the NT01 are a little cheaper so i figure i would try those.


THOUGHTS????

The NT01s are basically RA1s,but with larger tread blocks.Their heat threshold is slightly higher than the RA1s due to the larger blocks,but they are worse in the rain for the same reason.Toyo and Nitto are the same company for all intents and purposes.
The NT05s that Woo mentioned would be a better choice for street and starting out tracking.Any ultra high performance(180-200ish treadwear)tire will be perfect.
