What size do you have on your Camaro Kerry? You list the Nitto as 20s and the MTs as 18s. I would go with the Nittos too!

I have 20 rims that are 11 wide. I would haft to buy 18 rims, about 700 bucks. Is the 305/35/20 nitto 2 gonna look ok on 11 rim. I know King said they might be narrow. The 315 gets another bit taller. Keep the replys coming thanks very helpful

MT has always been far superior in my experience. Which types of Nitto and MT's?

Kerry, go on TireSize.com and compare both sizes that you are considering. You can compare both sizes to see the size difference, height, width, etc including how both will affect your speedometer reading.

The MT's have a softer compound, which will wear quicker and might be a little sketchy in rainy weather, so, factor that in. But as far as dry performance between those 2, the Mickey's will stick better. Personally, I would go with the MT S/S without question.

Thanks for all the input. So I did some serious measuering and looks like the 345 35 18 would need about another 1/4 inch right where the wire harness is on the drivers side, so I have the 305/35/20 II nittos on the way. Looking forward to see how they do. I had already moved it and did the extra pin.
