Disagree

Given you have no clue what I said to them that is a extremely ignorant comment.

Sorry you feel that way, and although I did not hear your conversation I spoke to NFS quite a bit, and my opinion is that Paul was very knowledgeable about both the wheels and tires he recommended to me. I don't believe they would steer anyone wrong. Nor do I feel it is fair to call out a vendor because you are unhappy with your purchase. Ultimately it is your final decision and responsibility to fully research everything.

Did you read the thread?
I did not "call him out" he made a comment on a thread i posted that mentiomed neither him or his shop and I responded. Nor did I say my selection was his fault I said I wished he would have recommended something else at which time he said micky is better than stock but there is a better tire for my needs and at that time I told him I wished he had recommend those tires

All good points sorry. I still think you'll be very happy with them after a few hundred more miles. I know I won't trust a new motorcycle tire until then.

I find them equivalent at this point, and a more accurate comparison would require me to drive the same car on the same road back-to-back with both sets of tires. If they wear well I'll definitely buy another set. Can't beat the appearance or price.

"After posting I did do some more research and it said both to give them more break in miles and to let them warm up. I've never had a tire that needs to warm up..."

"guess I'm probably just being picky cause they don't have the good aspects of my old tires. I'll just be more careful while they are cold and get something that better suits my style when these are done."

Perhaps you missed these two posts?

Defending a shop you have done business with and had good experiences with is completely understandable, just don't try to do it at my "expense".

Ender was there a reason you did not go with the ET Street S/S from Mickey Thompson? I believe they offer way better traction than the MT street comps... I am looking for a tire set up and I think I am going with the MT ET Street, Has you known of anyone who has tried them out?

ender2664 · 08-21-2016, 07:21 PM

I went with what was suggested to me and so far am very disappointed.
I don't know anyone into cars. So no I have not heard anything about ET Streets.
I'll be buying new tires after I do more research. So if u get them please let me know what u think.

The street s/s are full on drag radials.

305-35? I tried those, but they were hitting on the inside of my fender well on the drivers side. You are going from a 27.6 to 28.4 tire and it may be messing with the computer some. Remember you just changed the diameter almost 1" so you may see some slower 60' times. Probably couple mph off on your speedo also

Shouldn't the shop have synced them?
If not, what is the best way for me to fix this?
I don't hear any rubbing...are other people experiencing the same issue as u encountered?

How cheap were they..? PZeros are just over $600 for a pair in that size; PSSs in 285/35 (which is the size I'd go for anyway) are about $700 per pair. Hell if you're feeling adventurous there are 285/35 Eagle F1 G2s at $200 a pop on TireRack right now... just don't drive over any puddles.

There has been less than 2 inches of rain all year here; I'm not too worried about how tires preform in the wet lol

Have you considered the Nitto NT555 G2?

From Discount Tires Site:
You can take to the streets like it's a track day when you drive on the next generation Nitto NT555 G2. With its aggressive directional tread pattern, dual continuous center ribs and race-influenced compound, it delivers thrilling performance, stellar dry and wet traction and a longer lasting tread life, all at a great value. If you want great summer handling without breaking the bank, look to the Nitto NT555 G2.
