I have run Nitto NT-555's on the rear for several years but they spin pretty easily so lookin' at options!!;)

Has anybody run these things and if so how do they perform???:confused:

295/35/18 are going to be way too short in diameter, shorter than the fronts.

821 Rev/Mile for 235/40 18's up front
772 Rev/Mile for these out back

That should do it, right??:confused:

235/40???? Thats no good.

And definitely no to the 295/35's. Way too short

Why do you want to put so short of tires on the car? It will look like super saver spares. car is too big of platform to have short tires.

FBM likes his Hankooks or wait until the NItto 555 G2 comes out very soon

I have yet to find any "street radial" that doesn't spin.

Nitto is coming out with the NT555 G2 probably this spring. Supposed to be better in the rain and much more grip.

Here a couple links.

I run the 255/45 on the front and 265/50 on the rear. I'll be buying s set of these when they are available.
