[Blk04MM]

anyone here running the NT580 tires?
whats your pros/cons/opinios on them?
tires wont see snow or extreme cold because im in florida. just heat and rain


I really want the 295/45/18 Hankook Ventus ST but i have a $60 deal on two brand new NT850s that may be a buy for right now.

had em on my old Marauder & no complaints! speed rating was ideal & also had the all weather traction/tread I was looking for. I think nitto calls them motivos now

I have had them on my car for 3 years, fronts wore out fast but I have alignment issues. Have been through 2 sets of fronts in the time that 1 set of rears have worn down.
And the rears lasted about 30k and are wore out now. Work great in rain, never had issues in the heat with them. They do leave quite a bit to be desired when driving in snow though(not a problem for the OP though). Since they don't have a stock rear size I went with 255/55's and there is more flex in the sidewalls than the crap BFG's.
As far as Branding/Naming, The NT850 and NT850P are still around and being made. The Motivo is the same tire. The 850's are sold exclusively by ATD and by tirebuyer.com all of which come from ATD warehouses. The Motivo is like I said the same tire, but sold by other tire wholesalers and distributors who do not use ATD.

Sounds good.
Is the 245/60 going to give my TC any issues? Is that a good size tire to go with?

I have them on two of my Marauders. Good tire.

The same size?

[Blk04MM]

Are there any cons of going with the 245/60 vs the stock tire size? My MM does have traction control. Will I have any issues?

[Shaijack]

No different size.

Just picked these tires up and they seem to be huge (but brand new) Measurements show them to be about 2inches taller then the OEM size. Would I have to adjust my air ride in the back and change the revs per mile on my XCal?
