Cypress, Calif., October 26, 2009 – Nitto Tire announces the release of its all-new D.O.T.-compliant competition drag radial, the NT05R™. The NT05R is Nitto’s most aggressive drag radial designed for competition use. Nitto will officially debut the tire at this year’s SEMA show, held at the Las Vegas Convention Center from November 3 to 6, 2009. Visit Nitto at booth #46115 to see the tire. The NT05R will be available for purchase in the first quarter of 2010. Nitto’s top priority during the development of the tire was to maximize traction. To achieve this, Nitto engineered an all-new specialized race compound and a large contact patch. The dual-purpose sidewall construction is enhanced for traction during launch as well as straight-line stability at the top-end. This improves consistency and controllability throughout the entire pass. The NT05 will be available in popular 17- to 20-inch rim diameters designed for high-performance drag racing vehicles. Included in the size lineup is a P345/30R19, which is the world’s first 19-inch drag radial. Sizes will be released throughout 2010.
Coming Soon
LL Indicates Light Load. Technical Information subject to change without notice.
The new NT05R Drag Radial will not be phasing out the current NT555R Drag Radial. For those of you considering a street legal drag set up, the new NT05R Drag Radial will complement the recently released NT05 very well. As of right now, there is no actual release dates so pricing is yet to be determined. As more information becomes available we will post up. Let us know your thoughts

The only information out at this time is the information that is posted in the OP. I imagine that Nitto will build this new model in size 315/30-18 but time will tell. I'm not sure if they will produce this model in a higher load rating though making it acceptable for the L.
As more information becomes available to us, we'll post up
Sweet, finally something for the 19" wheels. Only problem is that 345 is 27.36" tall . Not sure if the sidewall technology they speak of would support a 305 or 315/30-19 series tire . Sure would be nice though.

I dont see how these wont phase out the 555r's. Everyone knows the DR's suck in the rain so everyone went out and bought a true track tire. The NT05 really improved the wet performance so it looks like they just smoothed the NT05 out to make it stickier. So in the end, I dont really see why anyone would by the 555r's anymore. I love my NT05's. They were incredibly sticky for the first 5k miles even in 1st gear. I cant imagine these are much sticker or will last near as long as the NT05 but its damn nice to see some more options!!!

If you compare the 555r to this 05r, I would imagine the 555r is still a good entry level dr. Decent traction, but also more realistic on a dd. I can't see the 05r having better water handling
