slicks are to much, they cost to much and then i am really more likely to break shit, i know i cant handle many launches on slicks. I can find DR's for much less then i can find slicks.

I wouldnt run 30-35psi on nittos on the street. The center will go away fast. I usually run them around 24..... i get 12-15k out of mine. I Have had 3 sets of nittos. They are a damn good tire for mild horsepower cars. And you cant beat them in the rain. either.

i would only drive them on the road if i got a flat in one of my regular tires. i will see if i can find a deal on bullit rims, or someone that wants to go half on a set of four.

I gotta agree with Vince, don't put a sticky tire on your car if you're worried about breaking something. And buying a second set or rims for Nittos is kinda silly.

Nittos will hook pretty well on a stockish car. Once you pass the bolt-on stage they aren't that great without getting them very hot. I'm going BFG in the future.
