Message I wanted to post these pics I took at lunch today when I dropped off my truck. I wanted to take some better ones of the tires and the Z was cleaned since when I posted the first pics of these tires it was all dusty. I enjoy looking at the Z from the front/side and seeing that rear tire stick out. I thought you guys might like it too.






The tires themselves are very "floaty" but what did I expect? They are round where my old tires (nt555) were square. It definately took a few minutes of getting used to merging onramps and that sort of thing. Once I learned to trust them I realized they could corner just as good as my nt555s and had better grip while doing so (duh!). But they really felt HICASey at first. Also, this is the first time I can remember seeing a Z pull the hood up into my vision about a good 4 or 5 inches of travel when giving it some gas. I used to just blow the shit out of my nt555s after like 5000 or 5500 RPM at WOT, I could only go like 85% throttle or sometimes less without breaking loose. Now my front end is pulling up instead of rear end blowing the tires off. :) You can see where I have been splashing some tire material on my rear QP. I put about 100 miles on them. Only really spun them once I think.
