Thumbs up

Yes! Thank alot fiveohpatrol, that's exactly the kinda advice I need (the little hints and stuff that only come from someone else's actual experiences with them).

I plan to try BFGs next time 'round, but the Nittos were just easier to get in a short amount of time. Also, since I bought the '91, I usually only drive the '79 stang Fridays-Sundays (probably a little less now since I got the nittos) and since they have more tread on them, it persuaded me more towards that tire.

The other tires I used to have, when the car shifted from 1rst to 2nd, you couldn't feel it shift hard at all, b/c it was spinned over instead of putting the torque to the ground (and they still have a lot of tread on them). With the nittos, it's a totally diff story during the shift! But don't try a hard launch on cold nittos, though cause that's spin city. I learned that one...

Rebel, good, FINALLY, another video. .
