That's not cool. I've never heard of these tires warping before. Let us all know what Nitto says.
Never had a problem with Nittos. I have had 2 sets of DR. One in 17" and the other in 18". I was very happy with both. I also run the 555s on the front.
I just saw an advertisement for the NT05. Looks like a great sticky street tire. They will definitely be on my list for that. As far as autox or OT I would stick with the 555R2 or the NT01. I honestly wish they would come out with something a little stickier than those for OT.
so where is the nt05 supposed to sit application and performance-wise compared with the 555r2 and the nt-01?
The Nitto NT05 is not an R compound tire like the 555R2 and NT01. The tire is softer than the 555 Extreme Performace and falls under the category of max summer performance. This tire was designed to compete with the Bridgestone Potenza RE-01R and Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star Spec (to name a couple).
I talked to a guy at the PRI show this past weekend who drove one of the show cars up to the show on the NT05, he said they were way better than the NT555 and felt great. He was driving a Steeda car.
Looks like a real nice tire. I'm hoping to put all four all the way around for the ultimate street performance. From what I've read these are meant for the street mainly right?
