Hey guys im upgrading to 19-20 and can get the nittos or the toyo t1r for the same price, which is a better tire?

 

[Will at RSI]

We run Nittos for better straight line traction.

Nitto Invo's here

Yea Iheard that new toyo sports came out?? I never heard of them, wondered if they were better??

I love my Michelin Sport's. Just put another set on my new wheels.

nittos are great fresh, after a while they are slick to the road- have to ditch them way before the tread is gone.

Toyo is the parent company for Nitto.

Nitto is primarily a high performance brand/division of Toyo.

Like Michelin / BF Goodrich / Uniroyal.
And Goodyear / Dunlop / Kelly.

..............I think the Nitto stuff is killer! -by the way.

As a tire dealer, we sell all that stuff.
The Toyo branded tires seem to have a little harder rubber compound than the Nitto versions.

I was considering the NITTO NT05's for my Gen IV. Any thoughts?

Running Nitto Invo's here. They are great IMO.

Had NT05 tires on mine last go'round. These were very good tires, but 4 twenty minute heats on a road course track but these to their end. The huge heat cycles ruined the tires for further tracking. I have the Michelin Super Sports now and have next set of MSS in the garage already. I think overall the MSS is a better tire than the NT05. Not a huge price differential from VCA either. Buy those, you will be happy you did.

You look like a track guy.
Why not Hoosier R6's?

Sport Cups?

If you're street driving mostly, best bet would be the Invos or the Super Sports.

I wouldn't even consider the NT05 because of the 335 rear.

I just got a BANG in the Head from Nitto's

Never used them before, bought a GTS (gen 2) the other day that had them on it HOLY HELL, bolt on GTS first gear WOT no slip. im sold!!!!!!!!!!! my other gen 2 with almost the same setup can't say the same.

Chuck mentioned to me to watch out in the rain with them if im ever caught in it but dry traction AMAZING

Nitto is a great tire for the price. I have PS2s going on right now because I like the run-flat option personally just in case I run over something sharp by accident.
