Switching from Nitto NT01's to the Toyos or the BFGs depending on lap times and longevity. Only one way to find out: buy both

Running a 9.5" and found the 275 Nittos a bit too wide for my tastes. As I said before, this width tire would benefit more from a 10 or 10.5 width for hard track use. It is interesting to note that mounted, the 265 R1 has the same observed section width (10.5") of the 275 NT01 and a more square side wall. The R888 has a similar more rounded sidewall like the Nitto and is a bit narrower (10.375").

R compounds run wider than street tires. I personally don't think the 275 in any of these brands will make a differrence over the 265 on a 9.5" rim. I may just try a 255 next time once I pick which one I like best. RC-T4s arn't bad either

A SEARCH HELPED ME BRING THIS BACK FROM THE DEAD. SORRY!

Great pics. Last year I ran the BFG R1's in 255/40/17 on BBS wheels. The grip was the most I've ever had .... the 255 was over 10" wide.

I do think the 255s were a touch too wide for the 8" bbs wheels. They fit fine but towards the end of their life I did see abnormal wear. I suspect they may have been shifting around on the rim a bit.

I can't decide between purchasing another set or moving to the Hoosier R6 in a 245/45/17. HELP!

In case anyone else notices that this is on the X forum, these tire sizes and wheels sizes are irrelevant to this forum since our wheels are 18x8.5 stock and we can't run a 17" wheel/tire.
