Yep. The NT01 wears better than the 555RII as well. I wish Nitto would introduce a 295 or 305 in the NT01 for 18" diameter wheels.POS VETT said:Regardless of the availability in size combinations, Invo vs. NT-01 is more about compound.

Thoughts?
I think you'll like the new NT05s and when you do decide to try an R-comp I envy that you can run the NT01s. They really grip and seem to hold up really well. I wish the 555RIIs held up like the NT01s.drano38 said:Did it, and am glad I did.
Haven't hit the track with it (warmed up to 24 today, ~6" snow on the ground), but I'm sure I'll like square. Strano said his adjustable front will work (JSheier runs this for square). Another option is 7/8 or 1" rear. Sam said if we plan to change springs, and only the rear bar, the 1" rear is the better choice.
I might buy the front and 1" rear set--heck, the extra bar is cheap compared to all the Boss toys sitting in my garage right now. ;D

I run mostly in Sport mode but have run all assists off and the car definitely has trail brake and corner exit oversteer tendencies. The nannies help with errors in judgement : but they do hold the car back speed wise.
But in reading your opinions I guess having more tire would always be faster in any case and shock, roll bar, spring and air pressure can be used to tune the car for under or oversteer as desired.
Thanks for the tips.

I was thinking of installing some of these:2012YellowBoss said:LOL, I can hear the BMW and Porsche guys saying to themselves on track - is that a 4x4 that just passed me? ;D
