No, you just need to get some tires, any size you choose, get new gears, and get the car dyno tuned and have the tuner re-calibrate for gears and tire size. You will have NO PROBLEMS running a nitto 315 on a stock WS6 rim, they will fit w/ minimal fender well hammering. The look and the grip are worth it 10 times over. I have run my nitto 555r's for 12,800 miles and no problems so far.

If I had to choose tires, I've seen nothing better (performance wise) than a M/T (Mickey Thompson) tire. They wear a bit faster than the Nittos, but that is because they've got a softer compound and hook up much better.

I've only used the Indy Pro, Indy Pro S/S', but I'm sure they're new-age look ones do just as well as the drag-style tires.

I have had a 1.8 60' w/ nitto 555r's and have got 12,800 miles out of them. and for $145 per tire, that is an unbeatable deal for stickiness and longgevity IMO.

I'm not saying they're bad tires for the price, but If I was looking at performance alone, I'd go M/T in a heartbeat.

True, but from what I'm gathering these are goign to be an every day tire. MTs are something I only have on my car when the track is in it's immediate future.
