is my understanding correct? i can see more rubber on the ground,better traction.

I see your question went unanswered. No they are not just a really big tire. they are made out of a softer compound rubber that gets more traction than a street tire. they are really sticky.

Its an 8.8 out of a GT

F8L GT · March 3rd, 2009, 01:46 PM

those are great. the nittos do very well to. the 555R is a great 275in tire to run around the streets with. good traction even for me.

I just got some nitto 305 DRs, but I have to finish up the rear suspension to test them out. Probably won't be a fair comparison after adding lowers, sway bar, coil overs, TQ arm, and panhard, but at least testing traction is FUN!!

dgt_mustang · March 4th, 2009, 07:33 PM

lol, thanx my question did go unanswered, whats the biggest tire i could fit on my cobra rims? just for the back, its a 17"...sorry for threadjack

ByPopularDemand · March 4th, 2009, 09:19 PM

dgt_mustang · March 5th, 2009, 11:23 AM

you need to know how wide they are to know what tire can fit.

RALVAREZ26 · March 5th, 2009, 12:47 PM

i had some 17x9 cobra wheels and i put 285/40/17 on them but really wanted to go w/ 315's

I know in my 6, if I'm at 42 or 43 mph, the car is in its highest gear at its lowest RPMs. If I stomp on the gas, it downshifts and then accelerates (and it makes a little "squeek"). You say you have an SCT "tune" (as in like a chip or something or do you have a handheld?). I was just thinking maybe you can change the shift point and pressure to maximize from that roll speed.

I got the SF3 SCT and ever since I installed the 91 performance tune my car chirps in the 40MPH area if I'm WOT and I got new Nitto's on the back so I know it's not bad traction... It's too much shift pressure. Adjust the shift pressure from your handheld down to -25% for all shifts and it will take away that chirp.

ByPopularDemand · March 6th, 2009, 01:57 PM

But it shifts waay to slow with out the high shift pressure
