    So I just got the Nitto NT05's for the rear 275/40/20's

    now....

    I wanna get front tires....however....my anality will not allow me to get 245/45/20's in the front as they are a different size lol....

    So...

    the dilemma is....

    Do i suck it up and get the different size NT05's for the front...

    Or get Invo's for the front in 245/40/20's

    Why don't you just run 275/40/20 on all 4 corners?

    I'm with you on this. I thought having a staggered setup would "look" better. I can't tell the difference between the two. The handling sucks more with a staggered setup as well.

    I want to know how the NT05's compare to the Vredesteins for handling.
    Turn in, sidewall stiffness.
    How do they break away. all at once? gradually? where's the threshold?

    Let me tell you Dave, I just went for a ride in Hal's monster, and from a slow roll, these tires hooked up very well.

    Ask Hal

    I literally got my delivery yesterday when I got home from work and I am heading to spring fest haha

    He has had them on his car for a bit now and would be able to answer your questions much more completely...especially since hes got them on all 4 corners :)

    I just pick up & mount my NT 05's yesterday, since Nitto does not make a 245 for the front what is wrong with the 255, that will still give you the stagger?
