    255/45-20 and 275/40-20. They got to be stickier than the 295/40-20 RSA's.
    Tread wear rating of 200


    $212.00 and $246.00. Discount Tire in Chandler.

    The next size up is a 315/35-20 which is basicly the same heighth at the 255/45-20 but is to wide for my 9" stock rims. The 295's RSA's fit great but are only H rated or 130 MPH. The N-05's are said to be pretty sticky at a wear rating of 200, the RSA's are rated at 260, but feel more like 400. They still look brand new with over 10,000 miles on them.
    If I like the N-05's I might get my rear wheels widened to 10.5" and then get the 315's.

    Mine are on. 1st impression is very good. Takes more pedal to break them loose. Even went on the highway at 65 to 80, didn''t notice any noise. Went around a couple of left turn lights faster than usual, was like on rails. I have the KW2's, and I'm pretty low.

    I think I'm going to really like these. I'm not as hard on my tires as many of you, well just once in awhile.

    these are the next tires on my list hal......

    just remember, if you widen the wheel, you will for sure need 1/2" spacers, longer studs, and some "massaging" of the inner fender well!!! lol

    I was looking at the same tire and size. I wanted to try something different than the
    F 1's again, which I thought were not bad. Should have them on by Friday for next month's track event.

    I luv these tires. The N-05's and the KWv2's are a match made in heaven. The ride and handling are incredible.
    The 275's are holding my car hooked from a kick down to 1st with just a slight haze. In 2 days I have not gone into limp mode except in the bedroom.

    The 315's would be awesome for traction.
