[Shotimes] Tire Recomendations

[G Kerby Haltom]

Having had all three of those tires.  Nitto  450s were good tires 10 years ago.  SZ50s were awesome, SZ50EPs  suck.   Saying that I would not mix the Nittos and the SZ50  tires.  The SZ50 are much stickier than the Nittos, and could  cause some serious problems.

I loved the SZ-50's (not EP) I had on my '93 SHO.

Paul,

A little more searching on tires has led me to a post of yours on v8SHO.com
regarding the Bitto 450's and Firestone SZ50's. As it turns out, I have 2
very good SZ50's (not EP's) that lost their mates last Christmas when I
borrowed them from my '91 SHO to drive to LA with (unbeknownst to me) a bad
rear alignment. 

Would you think the Nitto's would match up OK for my application with the
SZ50's? Or recommend anything else?  We had terrible results driving back
from LA last year in the rain, but I think it was mostly because the rear
tires were basically worn out from the bad alignment when we got back to San
Jose.

Thanks.
