Re: Nitto Tires/ Discount Tire Direct

Hello audiohiles-
	I have subscribed to the list from time to time in the past, and have
subscribed once again since buying a Red 1990 Coupe Q 20V three months
ago...
	Anyway... I have just purchased and mounted a set of TSW Hockenhiem R's
with Nitto NT-501 "Exit GT" tires, sized 235/40 ZR-17. 
After driving on the new setup for several hours, I am completely
satisfied with the combo. The tires have done so much to improve
cornering and braking, and at their price, (about US$160/ea. for the
size above) they cannot, in my mind, be beat. I hear that Nitto has been
in the tire market since the mid sixties, and the 501's can attest to
their experience. Ride quality has barely suffered at all, except now I
can feel any and all deformations in the road through the steering
wheel. 
	I bought the package through Discount Tire Direct, and they were very
helpful and professional, infact, at my request they had some chains
pulled at TSW to have my wheels powdercoated a beautiful flat black.
Their prices are very good, infact many tire prices are lower than those
of their main competition, The Tire Rack.
	In all, I am completely satisfied with everything about my new wheels
and tires, from the ordering experience, to the prices, to the local
backroads.

Have Fun!
