[QUOTE="tt335ci03cobra, post: 11038912, member: 68944"] All of this is my $.02, take it for what its worth... Actually removing the sway bars helps on that tire, its an odd science. As an aside, I'm running nt05r's in a 315/40/18 on mine and they hook pretty good for my power (800whp pump) when you shoot for a 1.65-1.8 60ft and have the pressure at 12-15#'s. I can roll into the throttle at 50 in second and keep traction really well also. I have a 3.08 rear though so that plays a lot into it. Key points: -daily driver-best life and value out of the nt05r's. Easily 2-5 times the life of the others at only 1.5x the cost -handling-nt05r handles corners the best out of the tires up there in the first post. -rain-you could easily die in heavy rain with any of these tires but the nt05r's are the least likely to hydroplane. The are great in light an modest rain, the others feel like ice skates. -traction-the nt05r's are not as sticky as the others. Those can get a cobra into 1.4's with supporting traction mods, nt05r's are lucky to pull 1.60's, maybe a 1.50 with a great setup. If it's a project car that never sees rain, any of the stickey tires are great. If it's a daily I say only the nt05r is great. Cheers and goodluck regardless of which tire you run, it'll be fun and fast in good weather so have fun but be safe in bad weather. [/QUOTE]
