Tires ride well not a lot of flex, but not bouncy either. They look like some kinda drag radial on the shoulder so far I really like them. I ordered them from discount tire and paid 744 shipped for all 4. Hope that helps.

We will see. Too much involved to drop one of these things. Springs plus like what 10 different kits.

The gap is only 2 fingers between the tire and fender

Nismofied!

You really don't need a drop. I mean, it would look cleaner with a drop, but it's not really necessary. The wheel gap isn't horrendous, it's the same as my stockers.

Congrats on your purchase. I'm so GLAD that you didn't get the 'other' Nittos which is NT555 aka piece of sh*t.

Are the tires a hard compound, that are better for handleing? Or more a soft compound that is good for hooking on the street? Im looking to get the best 305/30/19 that will hook well at a 2nd/3rd gear roll. I had Toyo T1Rs 285/35/19 and they were not enough grip for my car. Any help on this would be great.

Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's will sastify your needs. They have that particular size you're looking for too(exact setup is used on 997 Carrera 4S) Expect to pay BIG bucks, for PS2 are one of the most expensive street tires. You get what you pay for though.

Those are great tires. Ive seen them cut a 1.8sixty on a 900hp Viper, size 335/30/20 i think it was that size.... Im just trying to avoid paying 525 a piece. If i cant seem to find a tire close enough in performance that is cheaper then I will most likely get them.
