Thank you guys,

325 30 19 Nt-01 due out soon. Remember Z28 TR tires are actually wider than standard 305 tires.

In other news, I got the MPSC 2 tires mounted, and will try them on in one of my two upcoming track days (on 26th or 28th)!

What PSI would you suggest running the NT01's at?

Looks good! Please review after your track day!

I asked Nitto about the tire pressures. They recommend running mid-to-high 30s hot, and recommended closer to mid-30s for a lighter car, and closer to high 30s for a heavier car. We will need to experiment a bit to see what works best on our cars.

Will do!

I am going to try 25-26psi starting pressure at the track Sat. as per your comments. Even if 25psi is lower than rx, it will be there for only a short period of time.

That's true. I'd just stay below 120 MPH and not do jerky turns (fast turn-in) until it hits 26+ PSI. Per evidence, we could also do a lot better with higher camber. I would love to have, say, -2.8 up front.

Good luck and have fun! Let us know once you're done : )
