OK Jake called me out on this, heres how we did it with the Nitto NT-01
I got the 77 back form the gentleman that bought it. Yeah lets call it that. I was preping the car for 2009 and wasent happy with the cost of the Purple Crack in a 13 inch tire.
Somehow a thread was started here regarding the costs of tires, sound familiar, Mr Andy Bettencourt posted that we need to "make Friends" with a Miata guy and get thier take offs. So I made the call.
We experimented with going with a Miata bolt pattern and a spacer/adapter to get to that bolt pattern. While trying this i saw an add for the Nitto in GRM and made the first phone call.
Nitto was very receptive to the idea of getting onto a spec series in a market they werent in. The deal was struck and 50 NT-01's appeared at the 7's Racing Skunk Works SOUTH location.
Blah Blah Blah
Found out that Konig buids a wheel in our bolt pattern, make the call. We all have Konigs now with Nitto's
As for the tire,the costs, and the rest of the story
All posts are made by a fat old guy with a crappy old car that isnt supported by a factory anymore and therefore should not be taken seriously, EVER
We buy our tires at WalMart 205/50-15 NT-01 $148.00 last all season and go faster as they wear out........
