Hot pressures- don't go higher then 34 or they will slide. I do 31 hot all around. Cold pressures depending on outside temps I usually go 24 on hot days and 28 on cold days then adjust from there. Don't go below 30 hot if it ain't stripped like mootys 6. I flip after 15-16 hc's and rotate depending on track if go to one track that's cw and another track that's ccw I don't rotate but same track I do rotate. Hope that helps ya. Mike
Perfect, thanks dude.

I think Fooshe is talking Nitto NT-01 and Mike is talking Kumho V710.

Fooshe: what is your rear camber?

Cool....as long as we all know we're on different pages.

I once bought $900 Nittos from Discount Tire Direct. They had some kind of sale on.

Myself, Dell, and Jim have run many many many many sets of 245/315 NT-01s and have not had "chunks" taking out of rears or fronts.

Was your car set up to final specs when this happened?

Same here. Working on my 3rd set. I have -2.5 deg of camber at the rear.

I have a client that owns a wholesale tire distributor ship. I never ask him for anything and he is always offering, so I finally took him up on it.

Can you tell us more or post some pics, where they rubbed inside or outside?
I will post some pics tomorrow. I will do what I can to get good shots.

They were done on the outside edges.

Correct. I was talking Nitto NT01.

Allan, to be perfectly honest, I don't know yet. It goes in for a corner balance and alignment next week. I will have to figure out what settings to have them put the rears at. But I can tell you this, the rear of the car does look a bit low compared to the front. So the rake might be off, but when you see the pics, you will see it wasn't just barely scrapping...it is a big section.

Nope, not yet. It still is as when I got it.

Did go look at GMG, Stuttgart and Truspeed Friday. Very different vibe in person and I learned quite a bit. I think I now have more questions than answers.

Maybe explain your issue to the shop that will be doing the set up. They might need to roll the fenders some. Not sure if that is what most people do here since Dell had my car ready to go.
Get her sorted out so we can hammer down soon.

315 on oem or proper offset wheels will not rub badly, may have TINY rub, but no prob.

So I looked at the V710's and they're priced competitively to the NT-01s. I'm looking forward to trying them back to back with the Nittos

The problem is that tire rack only has rounded fronts and square rear 305's. Should I care?
