After about a month driving on these nittos everyday. They are hardly showing any wear. Ive did probably 5 good burnouts. It rained all day today lightly. I have no fear of these in the rain now after driving in the rain with them in the last month. They corner just as good as any tire ive ran.

No joke, these are better in the rain than the Pep boys Futura's that were on my car when i bought it.Even after changing to 4.10s. Im sure that will change after a year when the tread is gone. My BFgoodriches i had were bald after a month.

Nitto DRs are going to stay my rear tires, cept for snow. No reason to switch like i planned and just run them on the weekends and regular tires for going to work weekdays. I can fire the nitrous in first after i hook!! Again Great tires.

I blew away a subaru WRX turbo AWD, stoplight to stoplight today, which isnt easy if you have ever raced one from a dead stop. My upper and lower control arms made a big difference just like the nitto's. I actually talked to the subaru guy and he had some mods.

We stopped at a gas station. First thing he did was look at my rear tires for the brand, and my lower control arms are bright red so they stand out. I also showed him my nitrous bottle was off. He was upset and of course told me his engine is missing. And he had 87 octane in it so he wasnt running full boost!!! Swore it was 400hp, He had the mandatory ricer 5inch outlet muffler, and 1 1/4 inlet!! And one of those 100 hp computer chips!!! Plus the Giant monster tach mounted on his drivers side window Pillar!!!

I did have one once, so i cant flame, on a 88 mustang coupe, above the AC vents. It would be nice if the made 7000 and 8000 rpm models. Not just 10,000rpm ones. They would be more usable.
