Default NT01's

Anyone running NT01's and still AWD. What sizes are you running?

I've used 235/40 and 315/30 NT01 when I was in 4wd, also 255/35 315/30 R888.
Currently in 2wd but still running the same sizes... My car's pretty low, have had them with -2 chamber all around (currently running about -3.2f -2.8r).
wheels/offset 8.5x18 et52, 11x18 et 40

Hey Ryojo, have you been happy with the R888's? I mounted 295's and 235's on 996 twist for my track wheels. Haven't had a chance to use them yet.

Richard, I like the R888.
They don't seem to get good comments from the GT3 crowd but many track guys in other marques like them, they come in good range of sizes. Toyo owns Nitto and I understand the rubber is similar. The Nitto's are a little cheaper here (probably because they are not right/left side specific). The Nitto's seem to make a little more noise at the limit and have sl softer side walls at the same pressures. Toyos I think are a little better in the damp, but both can get pretty scary with any real rain or any hint of standing water. The day we took that picture in my sig, I think I could get to about 55 mph before hydroplaning and getting that butt cheek clenching sensation - where as my friend in Michelin super sports could drive near normal speeds. No real difference for me at my skill level between the two.

Thanks, was hoping for a good review. I know you don't have much choice up there, but I try to avoid the water. :-)
