Got new shoes today

The Goodyears finally got to the point where I needed to do something about them, I was sliding all over the place. Opted for the Nitto tires 255/45/20 and in my short run from the tire installer to work the seemed to handle the task quite well, I was only able to push it semi hard in one corner and the grabbed pretty well. Being up here in Seattle it's only a matter of hours before I can test them in the rain :-) I can say the tires do change the driving dynamic/feel of the car I felt more confident and capable of taking the corner(s)

Heck, even if they don't perform...you still get the awesome look of the Nitto's!! I wish they made a 265/35/22.

Keep us posted on performance in the rain. Congrats!!

Congratulations on acquiring the new shoes. My car handles so much better with new shoes it’s incredible. Were you having the 80 mph vibration like others (and myself) were having?

I had a slight vibration at 80 at wasn't as signifigant yet as some have posted, I was having a lot of traction issues with goodyears it was getting kind of scary
