Got tires that will stick now.

Have some 245/40ZR-17 91W NITTO on the rear of the svo and man they stick to the ground. So much that the clutch slips in first and second on hard take offs. Haven't had this problem before. The Kumhos and dunlops would spin with no problem. Don't even get me started on the SUMITOMO.

Love the tires

I may have paid more than I wanted but THese are better than any other tire I have had on the girl. Now I have to put that spec 3+ on and see what happens.

Those are wild looking tires. My next tires will be Nitto 555s.

Just had it laying around for another engine I had plans to build. The next Time I'm at your house I'll bring the injectors put you in the drivers seat!

I would have to try some out to say. The side wall on the nittos are very stiff. No give at all. Good for autocross and curves!
