Nitto NT05 Max Performance Summer Tire

[cl0wnd0wn]

Great! We need all the reviews we can get. So far I have only sold rear fitments. Who's going to step up and run a set on all four corners?

I got a set coming.

Two 245/40/18
and Two 275/35/18

Got them thru a buddy at discount tire. Will be here next saturday. :rockon:


Oh ya, i ate my KDW2s up in about 8 months, do you think these nt05s will last longer?

Car is mostly used for dd but is takin to the track every couple months for the road course.

That's awesome! I can't wait to see your feedback. The NT05 is a softer rubber so IMO, you won't see any increase in life.

Which will hook better on the street (500+ RWHP) Nitto 555R Drag Radial, NT05 or NT 555RII?

Off the line, the NT555R DR will hook better. This model is designed for maximum launch and straight line traction. It is not designed to corner like the NT05 and NT555RII. Keep in mind, the NT555RII and the NT555R DR are DOT approved competition tires. The NT05 is a max performance summer tire. DOT approved competition tires use R compound rubber so they are stickier but do not offer a great life span.

Thanks, I was just making sure.

No worries. have you decided on what you are going to run?

I know I'm running the 305s out back and will probably run the 275/35/18s up front. I hope I can see a few 18x9s with that size tire on the front to confirm my thoughts before I have to pull the trigger.

What are you waiting to confirm and which model are you going to run?

Waiting to confirm the 275 looks better than the 265 on the front (18x9) with the 305 rear (18x10).

Ok I see. Just remember, the NT05 is not made in a 305 width for an 18" wheel.

 

[HURTNEM]

Yep, going with the DRs!

Just got the tires in, I'm going out of town for about 10 days but I'll update you when I get back and try them out. They look sweet by the way.

Here you go :thumbsup:

Shipping and sales tax is still free for OR. residents. I noticed you're somewhat near Salem. You should check with the local America's Tire and see if they will match our price. If not, I can have a set shipped out. We have good stock on the front size and will be receiving a factory PO later this week with the rear size.

nt05s got put on today :rockon:

Looks sweet cl0wnd0wn :rockon: What are your initial thoughts?

Well with the 245 up front instead of the 275, they dont track on the freeway as much

I have not been able to test them on dry road yet but i have been testing them the past couple days in the rain and they dont do to bad. Not the best for large bodys of water on the freeway but then again not the worst.

I like these way better than my BFG KDW 2s

Right on, please keep us posted once you get a chance to see what these tires can do in dry conditions :thumbsup:

I'm happy with the dry traction so far and they look badass. We've had a couple 80 degree days and the tires hold second gear really good when they are warm. 1st gear still requires a bit of restraint with throttle application but still good for a non DR tire. No rain here yet so I'll have to keep you posted on that. ( 480 RWHP and 490 RWTQ)
