Thanks for the heads up guys . This is the second set of Nexen tires I've had. Both sets came with the wheels I bought and now I'm starting to see why I got such good deals on the wheels.

Not only do I not have traction in ANY gear, but they melt under spirited driving. Even on a rolling start, they lose just enough grip to have the ECU step in and rob me of some of that madness.

I just did my bimonthly detail and this is after 1 run!



My question is this, what tire do you guys recommend that works well on some 19's. I don't need drag radials but I'd like to actually feel that 180mm pulley and tune. Any advice is greatly appreciated...

joo get wat joo pay for. Toyo T1S or FALKEN 452'S. THATS NOT JUST TIRE, IT'S TIRE DRESSING..USE THE GOOD STUFF

RedG

Should consider Continental Extreme DWS, or Extreme DW if you prefer a summer tire.

HeissRod

Agreed. I always let my tire dressing soak in/dry overnight.

I have Dunlop Dirrezza and it's about as good or better than the stock Contis.

Nitto NT05's work pretty darn well for me.

skratch77

Ps2,nt05,invos and nt55r are my tires I run!

tgoss

I went back to PS2's after Nitto Invo's and NT05's.

Actually thinking about it I loved all 3 of those tires.

skratch77

Same here

The ps2s are the best but to expensive,for the money you cant say anything bad about the nittos.

nickovic1

yeah i had ps2's on my 19 inch hre's then changed them to invos when they went bald... i liked both tires. i think the ps2's had a little more grip tho...

The Nitto's are right in the middle as far as pricing. The Falkens most affordable. How long do these tires last, how many miles?

Do you guys love them? It seems like its a must to have good tires with these cars, after all, they were $95K new.

I want headers, should I get the tires first?

tbal

Bang for the buck falken452s arent bad! Nexen/Kumbo are just garbage.

skratch77

You can get the invos for 197 shipped at discount tire direct. Com.I would get them or the nt05s.

Welcome to the modded world on trying to find a tire that put down the 600rwtt

I ran dragradials on the street and about to order the motto nt01 cup tire for my beast.

+3. I am amazed at the grip both wet and dry.

grantwoodtx

Agreed! I had them on a wore them off in 3 months. Currently runing Hankook V12 EVO's and they seem to grip fairly well. Definately way better than the NEXEN.

renntech55

Its the tire dressing, I use airsol spray tire dressing so it doesnt get behind the lip of the wheel, goes on thin and always wipe it down after it soaks in. Works like a charm

Trying Nittos for the first time this year so I can't comment yet.

My PS2's were just light years different/better than the stock Contis.

Very pleased with my Toyo tires. I was running 888's so a bit extreme but I bet their performance tires are great also.

TheVazha

Is the performance of the NT05's worth the extra $60 per tire over the Invos? What model/part number of the NT05 or Invo should I be shopping for, or is that what they're called, the "NT05" and "Invo"?

BenzoBoi

I can't say anything about the invo's because I never had a set but I can tell you that the NT05's are AWESOME. They handle great in dry and wet!

Why spend much money on tires anyway?
For these cars I have learned to buy on the cheaper end of the spectrum.
I drive about average mileage, and average conditions/pretty "normal spirited" not crazy driving - and rears last me about 10 months or 10-12000 miles.
Alignment is spot on, tires balanced correct, good pressure, etc.... these cars just have excessive negative camber for cornering.
Why spend 350 a piece on rears a little more than twice a year?
I actually have loved General Exclaim UHPs but they are discontinued.
What do ya'll think of the Hankook ventus evo K112, Sumo HTR 3's, or Yoko S drives?

P.S. the pic looks like tire dressing anyway....!!!
