Anyone have pics of 315's mounted on a car ?
New Nitto NT05's Are On
- Thread starter Jefe
- Start date
Here's a couple of the 315's on my car. They have been a great tire so far for me. Drove 400 miles home in the rain (hard rain) from SC and never once felt unstable, etc at interstate speeds. Hooks good too.
Did you guys just buy rear tires or both front and rear? Wondering how they feel on the front too! MMandFF had a good write up about NT05's in their lastest issue.
Was going 78 mph the whole way other than a couple of areas where the rain was REALLY bad. Just have the fronts on my car. Hope this helps.
I did the same thing :lol: Rears you mean....
78 on wet roads on a sticky tire
:rockon:
HAHA. Yeah, rears.... :bash: I am pleased with the tire.:banana:
did you guys had nt555's street tires before? if so how they compare (dry traction) vs nt05's?? i can read online but wanted opinions from fellow svtp members, thanks
I have the NT 555's street tires and I can tell you this. If these tires are not warmed up you are going to spin spin spin. Now I was down in Coral Springs this past March and the weather was nice and warm and hooked up nicely. I was thrown back in my seat. As far as wet weather driving I had no issue's driving at 60 to 65 mph on I 95 going from Boyton beach back to Coral Springs. Could I have gone faster yup but I really dont mess around in the rain not even in my truck. These are a very good street tire and they take corners very well. Now I will be getting a second set of rims to put on DR's for when I know it is going to be nice out and I know that I'm gonna have sum "fun" along with not being to far from home should I get caught in a rain storm.
I haven't but I will be putting 555's on the front. I did have the GSD3's on the rear before these NT05's and once the tread wore down I couldn't even floor it in 1st or 2nd or else I would get wheel hop. Im curious to see how the NT05's do once worn down
I got NT05 295/35/18s on the rear of my 03 cobra. I am running 555s on the front. I love the NT05s on the rear.
Note to self: Buy NT05's..
Good info. guys! The NT-05's are going on mine and then street tires on the front.
anyone run the NT05's at the track?

Are those the factory 17"s on there? And if so, is your car lowered and were there any clearance issues.
Yeah, factory rims as far as I know. The car has H&R Race springs, no isos in front. no clearance issues. Hope this helps.

A sticky tire? Nittos are the worst thing on earth to try to hook. They maybe good for a near stock cobra. Ill stick with the 315 MT's.
Worst thing on earth? Try stock wheels, these NT05's are sticky. skaarew04SVT has more power than you (whipple 615rwhp) and is running the NT05's :shrug:
