i have VR GTC in 19x9.5F and 19x10.5R. the falken 451's (GR-Beta) were worn at the front so i took a small stab by swapping the 285/35 rears onto the bald front wheels and installing the new INVO with size 305/30. i am content with the widths of the tires on my wheels... but lets get back to the topic:

nitto tires are built and branded under toyo. they have an assymetrical design, but are not directional. the tirewear is 220 with traction rating of AA. now with that aside, they're VERY QUIET! i was very surprised at the noise level. it's firm and not mushy as the 451 and with 508 rwhp on tap, these tires have excellent grip. i am still confirming how well they'll handle in the wet, but with the major grooves of the tread design, i assume they'll do well.

 

thought nitto was a bridgestone product

 

pics?

 

^^i ordered mine yesterday and picking them up next week, can't wait

 

285/35 on the front

 

Nitto is made by toyo. Nitto was generally Toyo hand-me-downs, but i dont think thats as true anymore.

people put 275/35 on 9.5" rears.. what so bad about adding tires similar to size at the front on the same width wheels? at least i have lip protection.

 

offsets are different.

 

Because its taller than stock and throw off the dynamics of the car? Good job, you just put a tire that is .9" taller in the front of the car compared to the rear, must handle well now

 

just had these tires installed today, so far pretty impressed by how quiet they are. They're way quieter than the oem 19 tires

Haven't really tested how well they grip yet because camber kit arrives next friday and having it installed next week along with the alignment
