If your gonna do drag there are much better tires out there for it.... RS-3's are a street/autoX short track tire.

I am about to mount up 285/35 all the way around on my car for AutoX

NT05s looK like they might have some wet condition issues... I might just not run them as daily drivers... I wonder how easy it might be to break them lose once I go turbo and what life would they have if they see a drift run or two...

I'll drag pretty much every weekend with the occasional drift event 1 a month... I also got a set of work xd9s and oem 18s so I want something to put on SVNs that I purchased from a member here...

#1: I want to be able to drive that set of wheels on the street.
#2: I want something grippier than the sumitomo I'm running fight now.
#3: The main reason is that I want to drag race on test and tune nights on e the season kicks off. There is a quick 8 comp, 8 fastest street legal cars get trophies, etc. Having DRs would take me out of that class.

If ur on coils, drop the front a little and tuck some of that 40 sidewall, u might be able to pull it off

19 X 10.5 +18 wrapped in Kuhmo SPT 285/35/19 (r)

I think 245 is a little bitty for this thread, and 285 is just on the edge. The car does look great though!
I like to live life on the edge
Thanks for the compliments guys. I will try this set up first and see how she holds and when it comes down to get new tires again I might try a 255/ 295 set up.
