New Tires

So I finally bit the bullet and bought new tires. I was going to go with the Toyo T1-R but when I got there, I found out they had the fronts but the rears are on 3 week backorder. So I decided to go with the new Nitto Neo-Gen. Has a stiffer inside tread bar to counter the stupid inside wear issue on our tires. They should be here on thurs or friday. So as long as it doesnt rain before then, I should be OK. Got the 4 Neo-Gens for $806 out the door (mounted and balanced). Hopefuly these tires will do a little better than the NT555's I had.

I would have gone fore the Nitto Invo's if they had them in your size. I hear Falken 452's do pretty well too.

Its a lot more complicated then that. I went through 3 sets of tires, 4 alignments, and an arbitration hearing that I lost with Nissan over this simple issue.

I have solved my issue with springs and wider rims and I have 555's

I keep reading that out camber/caster/toe does not work well with directional tires.
