Got the NT05R's Mounted Up!

[sambandit]

Cant' wait to get to the track tomorrow night! So far these tires rock. Went with 315/35/20. I know performance on the street doesn't very often translate to the track but finally the car dead hooks in 2nd which is a good thing. Also, very impressed with their street manners. Haven't attempted any twisties or anything like that, but they feel great and exactly like my Invos do, no way to tell there are DRs out back....

Be very careful in the rain.

 

[sambandit]

I hear ya... Fortunately the car never leaves the garage if there is even a hint of rain. Fair weather driver here....

 

[sncbluegt]

I'll see ya there tomorrow night..they seem to work great on the red z06..
Btw you are now my guinea pig

 

[RFM50]

Is your car an MT82 or an auto?

 

[Bud]

I'm going to try and get down there tomorrow night. So what kind of pressure do you run in a 20" drag radial at the track?

 

[MikeLTDLX]

I have those on my TT car, in 18 inch. They hook.

 

[sncbluegt]

Idk bud...I ran my bfg 18s at 15-20 and they did ok

MT82

Probably start at 18lbs or so....

 

[slagburn]

I've got a go pro hd with suction mount.. if the power comes back on soon (long story) I'll go dig it up

 

[RFM50]

Please let us know how well these tires hookup on launch with the mt82. I will be real interested to hear what rpm you are able to launch at.

Those tires handled just fine in the rain when I had them on my lightning

 

[2012GTCS]

nice, any shots from the rear? Love to see how meaty they look. Hm id like to get them but I inly have 19x9.5" wheel. So 315 out the window, dont think they make a 275-295 in 19"

Beautiful car!

 

[Teej281]

Looks like you need to take some pressure out of those tires. Get that full patch down on the ground so that you can get full effect of the grip!

They did OK on my L too.
On my Mustang they get loose in the rain.
I was driving back from the dyno and it started to rain. I was doing 65 on I95, not accelerating or braking. The car all of the sudden started to get sideways. I saved it, slowed to 40 and got off at the next exit. I had to keep it under 40 to keep the rear end from coming loose.

any 315 makes my car difficult in heavy rain

Heck yea ! I've been wondering first hand how those tires do. Too bad t&t got cancelled tonight but next time we all go out there I'm sure he wouldn't mind lending you the go pro

That happened to me on i95 with 275 mickeys on the way to Jacksonville as soon as it turned to concrete
