Right I am aware of that. What size studs should I get? 50mm? or should I got with 60mm?

I am not sure why you chose the less grippy tire for the rear wheels. That is where you will need more grip. If anything, swap the XS to the back and MX in front. Did you even try to message the ebay guy? You'll get a better price, don't forget about shipping on tirerack. NT05's are a better tire IMO. Do some reading on them. Or if you simply don't care, get the Ecsta XS on the rear, those will be your stickiest option. I would get the Ecsta MX for the front though. The tread design looks better for steering and control in wet weather.

Oh ok. I didn't realize they were less grippy. Its like they are all called extreme street performance or some crap. I didn't try the ebay guy...I guess I could message him...Just something about ebay I don't like...How much does shipping cost?

If you like cars, you will. Keep reading, start doing. That's how we learn.

That is fine if Ebay scares you. He just drop ships directly from the Nitto warehouse. So Nitto sends them out UPS ground. I am just saying I got a good deal. I sent him an offer of $150/tire including shipping and he took it. Just a thought. The Kumhos will be good for you though.

The lower UTQG treadwear rating means the rubber is a little softer compound and is more sticky. For example race compound tires have a 0 rating and the Nitto drag radials have a 100 rating. You end up having to replace the stickier tires more often, but you get the benefit of being able to grip the road under throttle.

Get the XS in the back and MX in the front. It will be good. Post up pics when you get them mounted.

Ok I am about to order the stuff but I need to know what size studs I need. I have a 7mm spacer. The website I'm looking at has 50mm and 60mm. What ones should I get?
Thanks

any of the two will be fine with only a 7mm spacers...
according to kevin, for 60mm you are allowed to have up to 15mm spacers w/o having issues on lug nuts.
