[DeTomaso] Nitto tires/NTO5 for CAMPY Clones?

My tire choice was Khumo MX on 245/40/17 (9" wheel) and 295/35-18 (11.5"
wheel) and I've been extremely happy with them.  Based on extensive street
and even some track driving (as a rain tire), I'd say they are comparable to
Michelin Pilot Sport 2 in performance but at about 2/3 the cost.  Treadwear
is good for a UTQG 220 tire.

Most excellent tires.  Khumo MX are available at TireRack and other tire
retailers.

Nitto tires just came out with a new "maximum performance summer tire" named
the NTO5.
My #1 choice at this time seems to be the BFG GForce KDW or now this tire.
I'm running the 17 x 8 front wheel and the 18 x 9.5 rear.  I was thinking of
running
235/40ZR-17 front and 295/35ZR-18 rears...any thoughts? The 295 might be at
bit too
big for my 9.5" wheel...the Nitto specs for the 295 that first came out on
the NTO5 showed an
acceptable rim width of 9.5"...but I noticed they have updated it to a 10"
width showing now...
the 285 is possibly too short a tire in the 35 aspect ratio?

I've noticed some on the forum run Nitto tires...are you please with them?

Here's the link to the NTO5
