Hey Mike, if you don't mind I will ask a quick ZdayZ question in your thread.
Forged Customers -- Are you planning to attend this year ?
So far I am fairly certain these are planning to:
XKR - Yes
ToastZ - Yes
stormcrow - Yes
rcdash - Yes
MadScientist - ?
Dil - ?
others - ?

It's kool... Because you have a legit reason why you are asking. But you should ask who are the FP customers that will be attending.
Btw.... I really don't think Raj will be attending this year![dunno](https://my350z.com/forum/images/smilies/dunno.gif)

ya its their top road race tire, so we'll see. It will be better than any street tire no doubt. but at 5/32's starting tread, its almost bald to begin with. No better than a R888. I wonder why the Toyo RA1's arent more popular on the street. They have an almost full depth tread at 8/32's
Oh ya, plus they are mad JDM hella tyte yo![](https://my350z.com/forum/images/smilies/icon14.gif)

Both are supposed to be 6/32" tread to start with. I read a little bit on that tire and I've heard claims that it's made by Toyo with the same composition as the R888, just different tread design. I've also heard that they are not as good in the wet BUT they are quieter than the R888. The tread pattern differences mean that the NTs can be swapped left/right but the R888s need to be taken off the wheel on a rotation to maximize usage from camber wear. The speculation is that the directional pattern of the R888s help the wet traction over the NTs. Be careful driving through standing water I guess.

Let me know how you like those 555's. I have MT et street radial 305/35/18's. TONS better than a standard street tire for traction but they still spin through first at the dragstrip. I think i'll just have to bite the bullet and get bias ply's for the track.
I have my MT 305's on 18x10's and they seem to fit just fine even though 10" is the smallest recommended width for rims. I daily drive the car in the non-snow months.

Car is aligned. I take it every 2 months for alignment since our roads tend to knock it out. I do'nt have the printout around but toe was stock spec and the camber was right at -2

ya, that's idea for drag racing. I guess i can have them increase the camber (therefore closer to -1) next time. I still like hitting some of the curves around here so i didn't want to take it all out. Thanks for the tip.
