nitto DR drivability

leebunnyz · August 8th, 2007, 03:01 AM

can i use or is it smart to use nitto dr's as my daily driver tires? like in the rain if i be real careful is the car driveable or will i be all over the road?

Check this out, lee: Nitto

It says it's for dry handling, and the little graph there shows low wet performance. I would call Nitto and ask if I were you. IT only takes once to lose it in the rain.

thanx Zip!

hey Lee,

I run the 555s on the front and the 555Rs on the rear, and they are GREAT for daily driving...
they get great traction in the rain for a drag radial, but at higher speeds (70+) with puddles on the road, they hydroplane slightly, kinda like when your front tires pull in a puddle and thats all.

I also have wide tires on all 4 corners, so this increases it.
275 40 fronts and 315 35 rears.
hope it helped ya!
