Thinking about getting some 275-NT05's on my stock rears only. Would that be strange to change only the rear tires, or should I change all 4?

Sounds like a really good problem to have.

I think an LSD would help greatly.
And ofcourse some sticky tires =O)

I agree with others, and LSD really helps traction. And it keeps the car straight when you do spin from a dig.

Yep, I dropped couple 275 with Quaife LSD on mine and it made a night and day difference! My tracking control didn't turn on as much too

Are you guys having 275 on stock 9" wheel?

Isnt that a bit to much for a 9" wheel?

Took off my 295's yesterday as I had grip issues (PS2's suck). Replaced them with 275 NT05s. FU *K!

I've fallen in love

For the guys that used the NT05s, how many miles did you get out of them?

This ****in stick to the road like glue!

I know a racer who has an M3. He goes out on the track and swore by these which is why I got them. My last set of tires lasted 8000kms so I was expecting 5 or so from NT05. When i asked him how long they last, this was his reply:

"23,000kms. 2 drag nights, 1 track day and it still gripped last week when I raced with a C63... but i didn't drift much throughout its time though."

I'm sold. I don't know how much they are there but I got 2 rear tires (275/30/19) for US$ 300

I've never been able to launch WOT in 1st and not spin the rear on new PSS 275's. I have an LSD and a tune, I could still spin them pretty easily.

I'm sorry. I don't care what anyone tells you and with any tires they tell you. Your car, WOT from launch, what ever tire you have will spin. The only difference would be the amount they spin!
