Default Tires
So i'm pretty sure i'm going with NT05's for the blue car, but just for sake of boredom, anyone have experience with a tire that's similar or better then the NT05 for cheaper? I LOVE the NT05's on my "race" car. They're a tad spendy ($650 M&B) for 275/40/17's. Since the blue car will be making quite a bit of power I dont want a standard all weather tire, but not something for dry weather only. The car very well may be my DD for a while.

If you want something good, it's going to cost you. $650 is a good price for NT01s actually. I'd say get BFG KDWS and be happy. I'm going to buy 17" wheels just do I can run those tires.

Boost, because sometimes atmospheric pressure just isn't enough.

How long did they last on the shelby? That's similar power levels so should be about the same life span.

I had about 20,000 miles on them and they hadn't reached the wear bars.
the GT500 was running 650hp 600trq so I thought that was really good
