Oh wow that's promising. Any fitment issues with 295 squared Conti's? My goal is to run around -3deg of front camber without too many modifications (trimming liners, etc)

Well they are much shorter outside diameter than 275 NT01 so that may help with fender liner rubbing (they are a fair bit shorter than 295/30 A052 as well). With 18x10.5” wheels it needs at least et22 to clear a kw clubsport damper body. With a 5mm spacer I’m et20 equivalent. Also, shorter main spring and helper combo (or no helper) required, but that is also generally needed for 275 NT01.

Looking for NT01. Called Big O and they are out of stock, anyone know where I can find these, trying to get them before next track day on 7/25

Found them through Discount Tire Direct. They only had 7 left in stock, 3 in California, 3 in Georgia and 1 elsewhere. They ended up shipping me 3 from California and 1 from Georgia and proactively offered to refund me for 1 of the tires. Solid service.

Why refund you?

I called to confirm they actually had the tires in stock. The guy confirmed but said they had some weird system issue and had to create two separate new orders, one for 3 tires and one for 1 tires and gave me the single on the house in the process. Not complaining.

My guy at the local Goodyear store told me that his Nitto rep refused to even give him a future in stock date.
He said his tire reps normally give him some BS date 4 months out, that they always change, but the Nitto rep didn't even want to do that.

Thanks for checking for me.
