kyle is a good wheel man and the vette set up underneath doenn't hurt. I just measured tread depth and I'm about 3/32 on about 1000 miles for the R888's. I'm still pretty curious though. I have a buddy with an extra set of wheels for me to borrow, I just need to come across a set of Nittos for a day.

That's the problem, the Nt05 doesn't always cross over well into this hobby. They aren't available in my sizes.

Yep, and with the 17s I run it is getting harder to get the exact tire and sizes I want too. 18s and 19s seem to be the sweeter spot nowadays.
