NT05 vs. NT05R

[LS2GTO]

I see that on your website both of these are rated at 200UTQG, yet one is a street tire and one is a drag radial. The R does have a more aggressive pattern, but is that the only difference between the two? My previous Nitto DRs were made of a different comopound the then street Nittos, is it the case again or is the only difference between the 05R and 05 just the tread pattern and they both have the same exact compound?

Thanks

I believe our website has a typo. I am having our web team look into it now but Nitto's site indicates the NT05R has a 00 tread wear rating. This is due to the softer, stickier rubber compound.

Thank you for posting your question.
