[QUOTE="guarnibl, post: 14218248, member: 33086"] Yeah, I'm aware. That's why I was asking, "Am I crazy?" =) I'm aware of the risks. My understanding based on the warning is primarily due to concerns with weather and road conditions. We have some of the best roads in the USA out here in AZ -- those concerns that Hoosier warns about are essentially non-existent here in Phoenix. I'll read up a bit more though to see if I can find something else that I'm not aware of regarding the warning. But assuming I'm not missing anything -- then the warning is not applicable to me given the conditions I would be driving in. I ran those on my previous Mustang and wouldn't run them on my car if someone paid me to (your experience was likely different -- but this was about a year 1/2 ago out here in AZ, perhaps climate played a role). My experience was the tire lasted quite a while, but the performance was absolutely horrible. I switched out to Hankook V12's and the performance increase was massive. Right now I'm running the Corsa's up front and NT05R's out back, but it's not enough performance and a huge drop in handling characteristics. The only street tire I would consider (which isn't really a street tire IMO) is a either a Trofeo R or Sport Cups. True street tire would be the Super Sport but I rather run something that's R compound. [B]Is there a reason you're suggesting an NT555 vs the R6?[/B] Edit: does seem like a ton of people like them.
