Anyone try nitto nt01s on the track?
I need to find a drag tire in 265/35/18 and the only one that is close is the BF in 275/35/18
I dont want to run that tire because people say its not that good and dont last too long.
I ran the numbers over and over and I need to stay at 25.5 inches or under to run a sick time.
Nitto makes every size you want but makes you pic different tires,like you cant get a 275/35/18 in a nto5r but you can get it in a nt05,soo stupid that they dont make the same sizes in there drag radials.
I might go with the nt01s soon and wondering if anyone has any exp with them.

Whatever we're tuning!
NT-01's are AWESOME tires......................FOR A ROAD COURSE Angelo.
They are not for drag racing. I run them on my road race car and love them but you need to go to a Hoosier DOT Drag Radial with the soft sidewall. Get them and you are 10's bound my friend!

Hoosier DOT Drag Radial 315/30R18 is the closest that they have in a 18 but it is only 26" diameter which is what you need. Just a little wide. How about a CLK 16" set up? That works incredible and is light as a feather!
