Nitto Nt-05r Drag Radial?
Anybody tried these out yet? I have a 10.5" rear wheel and am worried about stretching the 265/40-18 MT streets on there, but Nitto makes the NT-05r in a 285/40-18 and that would be a nice fit. Thanks for any thoughts.

I have them and I love them. They are quiet and hook up quit well! Plus for the money you really cant beat them.

Thanks. Do you have the Nt-05s or the actual Nt-05r Drag Radials?

Its a little ballonish but I had no idea what I was doing because I never really went to a track. I got them off Ebay and they were cheap I thought.

The NT-05r came out late January early February. Nitto is selling them alongside the 555r, with the plans that the NT-05r will be more of a dedicated track tire while the 555r can be used on the street with some longevity.
