Nitto's - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Well I got the NT555 put on the car today and they look good, very good. The size is the same as the OEM contrary to what some here have reported. Took the car for a drive for the first time in 2 full years and immediately got pulled over. When I say immediately, it was within a half mile of my home. I was looking at the instrumentation, got close to the centerline, and exceeded the posted speed limit (35) by 10. Explained to the officer that the car 22 years old, has only 7000 miles, and has not been driven in 24 months. He smiled, looked the car over, went and checked my license and registration and sent me on my way with a "have a nice day". No foul. Nice cop.

Anyway, I am disappointed in how the Nitto's feel. The car feels super spongy. Don't know if the ride control might be to blame, but the tires feel very smooth, but sloppy when aggressively changing lanes. No where near as good as the original Gatorbacks. Hopefully there is something else contributing to the sloppy feel??? The tire pressure is spot on 45 PSI. Car feels like there is only 10 PSI in them. I'm gonna check the c-beam later.
