Has anyone had any success using 315 35 20 NTO5r's on the stock SVTPP wheels?
Drag Radials, factory wheels

A simple search may get you the answer you're after
305 is what I would go with
So far no problem with my nt05r, 315-35-20
Use the Mickey thompsons
Do they hook well? Haven't been able to find them yet, do you know who has them, MT 305 35 20 ET

The MT's hook very well, even on cooler days. I love mine.

^What he said.:rockon:
Don't know about the 20's but I'd assume they do.
As far as the 315's we run lol. Yes the hook.... We currently have 1/4 mile record on the 6.41@238
:uh oh::bowdown::beer:
Watched the vid before, absolutely amazing!
I would agree on the MT for more serious drag action, but the Nitto 555R is a MUCH better all around street tire, no experience with the new Nitto model.

How do you get a 315 tire to fit on a 10 inch rim designed for 285/295 and maybe a few skinner 305's?? :shrug:
Birddoc, and the 305 mickey's fit on the stock wheel?, noticed you have widened your wheels
It's not a 10" rim. The stock wheels are 9 1/2".
Okay...your point is? Again, how are folks able to safely run 315 tire on such skinny factory wheels?
a little extra sidewall= a little extra bite and less wheel hop
FYI we use to run a 315 50 15 on a 10" wheel at 200+mph with no issue

nevermind..figure it out
305mm 20" DR fits the factory 9.5" wheel just fine.

How well do they hook? Do you have any close up pics of the tire on the car?
Used the NTO5r 315. Did a best so far of 1.80 60' ft

FWIW....I put the Mickeys on my SVTPP wheels this afternoon...first impressions is that they should have come on the car!
The back end will float a little more during maneuvers, and you can definitely feel it, but I got used to it right away.
I'll run Michelins or even my original Supercar G2's when road coursing but for the track and putting power down to the ground at a stop light my money's on these 3727R 's.
I've had my GT500 since May of 2012 and it has never even come close to hooking up like it did today.
Zero complaints here on the 305/35/20.
That being said, word on the street is the MT will wear faster than the Nitto but that's not a concern for me. I was just sick of shredding the tires with every throttle blip.
