Anyone actually have the Nitto 315?

Yup....going on my 3rd set today...sold my half worn ones to a buddy that needed them in a emergency for a track outting. NT05R's are basically the shit.

I've been 1.67 60' with them on basically stock suspension...I have done a ton of suspension mods now so I think 1.5's are achievable.

This is a 305/35 Nitto DR on my car with a 20x11 TF Victory wheel lowered on Sportline springs. No rubbing issues at all. The sidewall is perfectly flat, no bubble at all. A 315 will bubble over on the sides and you might have a rubbing issue.

thanks for the pics...looks great. I really want to see a 315. If I go 305 I may go MT though. Mine is only driven on nice days.

Ok anyone have true back to back experience with mt vs nt05r? My 315/40/18s are not great roll racing from 50mph, top of second. I've heard mt is softer.

MT ET Street II'S (305/35/20) hook really well. I've run 10.30's
at the strip with them on my TF Super Sports. They drive really well on the street too as
long as its dry.
