They both perform the same. I have the MT/ET and my buddy has the NT05R's. We were dead even from a dig race. I have 305 35 18's and he has 315 35 17's.
m/t if youre more into drag racing.
nto5r's for corners.

You cant put on NT05R's and take corners with them. The NT05's you can but not the R's there sidewall is to soft for that.
Maybe im thinking of the nt05's. sorry for the confusion.
MT's et streets will sway like crazy on the big end... Just be aware of that. If your car is a DD then i'd get the Nittos
Oh ok, I don't want that, thank you! I will go with the Nitto's!:beer:
Ok, woah. They are both radials and neither one should sway that bad on the track due to the radial construction. You also have to look at it this way...the MT's youre looking at are a 28" tall tire, if my memory serves me right. That will take a lot of gear away and make it feel like youre running stock tires with 3.08's. The NT05R's will leave you at the current gearing and still be sticky. Its up to you really. The sidewall on the MT's will help with launching and not breaking stuff, but will take a lot away from gearing and might slow you down in the 1/4. The NT05R will maintain current gearing but you wont have the extra sidewall.
Choice is yours, but neither will feel any different at the big end of the track.

Uhmm... I've had both tires and the ET streets sway like a b*tch. Even changing lanes they would sway. I was happy once they wore out because I had an excuse to by a better time. ET Streets would be absolutely horrible for his application.
If you want my opinion, I'd say go with the Nitto.. One better would be a Hoosier drag radial, or MT drag radial.

Ok gotcha cause I was gonna say I never felt any swirl issues with these. :beer:
The tires you have (MT ET Drag Radials) are great! Better than the Nittos IMO
Hey Wicked46 which brand of Nittos have the softest sidewall for IRS drag strip launches and what would you recommend putting on a spare set of either 17X9 or 17X10.5's used for ocasional street cruising and some track runs?:beer:
Yeah BUT more than one guy has snapped half shafts with em?:shrug:
Is this the MT's you had an issue with or the other tread pattern?

IMO Any Nitto would be ok, but i've always been a fan of the MT's and Hoosiers.... The Nittos will last longer then any other drag radial.
