Finally, got some drag radials! Nitto NT05Rs

What other DR's have you had on the car to compare too? Curious how they compare to MT's and Hoosiers
They do hook very well! Ecactly what I was hoping for out of them.
They do get my stamp! LOL... :thumbsup:
Good call! At your power levels, i imagine you will get every bit of 1st gear. I had mine set @ 28 psi.....prepare yourself!! :dancenana:
Yes (#s in sig on HPPs dynojet). I did have a full tank of corn and Sleeper with me, so I had additional weight in the car. It felt great in 2nd! Now I did not powershift 1-2 so I dont know how it would react then, I'm sure it would spin unless on a prepped track. I am looking forward to warmer roads....yesterday was in the low 60s when I did my testing, so the roads felt pretty good anyway.
What size wheel are the DR's mounted on?
Would you say the NT05 street tire hooks better than the 555DR's on the dry pavement? When you were running the NT05 street tires, did you ever get caught in the rain? If so, how did they do for ya? I'm in the process of researching tires for my car and am leaning towards a DR for max traction. However, I only have 9" wheels and need a 315/35 tire that will fit and can get me home if I get caught in the rain.
Are those mounted on 10.5s? I want to order also...
How was the tread life of the NT05 street tires? I see they have a 200 tread wear rating. I am looking for an alternative to the played out BF KDW NTs. Also, the Nitto Invo Extremes look nice, but they are a little narrower.
OP,
Do the NT05R's run narrow like the rest of the Nitto line?
Do the NT05R's run narrow like the rest of the Nitto line?
Not at all! They bulge quite a bit on my 17*10.5s and are very wide.....let me go attach a pic for you.......
just a quick cell pic from the other day, hard to see true width with the shadows......but they are much much wider than the 555rs. these are on a 10.5 wide wheel

those look sick! what size nto5's are you running on the front?
Yea, im interested in some info on the NT05. Im looking for an overall great performer. Hows the wear on the front NT05's looking? And from what ive heard, the NT05R compound is supposed to be every bit as sticky, or even stickier, than the MT's.
they are soft, but I have never stuck my fingernail in hoosiers so I couldnt tell you the difference.
255 40 17s
NT05s are an awesome performer, hands down the best street tire I have had on the car, handling and traction wise. The wear on the front tires is not bad, but it's time for me to balance and rotate them (side to side).
The rears just got worn quicker than the fronts....not sure why :burnout:
