4.6is staggered tires - your feedback
It's time for new 20" tires. I found the Nitto NT05 on discounttiredirect.com . Any body tried those yet? They have a bad ass tread pattern!! Good price too. Thanks

Summer, as in real summer only, imo.
A 200 rating will translate to 10K miles or less, imo.
Another review said they are "good" in rain, but
hard to believe with that very open sipe pattern.

Looks like a track/autocross tire to me.

But, different strokes...

I just had Hankook Ventus S1 Evo for less than a month for my new 20s
I previously had Hankook on my 19s and they were excellent

Yes Rich I have the staggered setup 275/40/20 and 315/35/20
I did not find the rear ones online anywhere but they were available at the Hankook shop here! ... when I asked them they said that the Middle East specs are different than the ones for the US and that's why we have this size here .. bear in mind that the temprature here reaches 50 degrees C in the summer! (122 F) while the clodest day would be around 15 C (59 F)

Here is a close pic of my back tires...

50 degrees???? WTF!!! People go outside?

Vredestein's are my choice for summer tires.. will probably end up getting a set for next summer while i ride these Michelin's out.
