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.

There a great setup for the street and track but im shooting for 10s and there too heavy and tall.if they were 25 in tall instead of 26.5 they would be perfect.

Every tenth counts so I looking for a 265 or 275 radial

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!
