Some of the best streetable tires I've ever had - definitely will be going with them next time around, too.


Nice pics!

Want to send me a high res copy of that last with a smaller sig so I can print it and frame it for my garage?

Thank you everyone.

17x9.... 275/35/17... Too big, it hits the fender liner when I cut the wheel really hard.

Nice pictures. And some steering rack limiters might cure your problem of tire contact in the front.

Great looking car! You must not be driving it through the winters.

What do you think of the tires?

Car looks great, what color is it? Love the pictures, first one needs straightened though, that drives me crazy! haha

 

[ScreaminRedZ]

Looks great! Are these the regular NT05's or the drag radial version? How do they hook?

I'm thinking of getting the regular ones for the rear wheels on my G8 since there isn't much for a 19" wheel and I've heard that these hook up well.

yes they are the regular version. The drag radial version has a much greater tread width. Guy at work has them. They are pretty flexible as well, the regular NT05 sidewalls are stiff as hell, more for handling tire.

hooking..well, yes and no. My car is pretty much stock besides LCAs, some other suspension odds and ends, and a built rear with 4.10s and a few engine bolt ones. When I first got the tires i put the PSI to 35. They handled great but spun pretty bad in 1st gear. Launches weren't much better. Since then I lowered the PSI to 20 PSI and I can stab first and they won't spin anymore but handling goes to shit. I haven't tried launching a 20 yet. This is all on the street. haven't gone to the strip yet. But i have no doubt these tires will dead hook at the track. the street is just too dirty to get a decent launch.

Mineral Gray. Yeah your right, picture is a little crooked, I didn't take my time on these at all. maybe 3 minutes haha.

Thank you! the car was a DD when I first got it. but for the last 2 years it has been stored for winters.

See reply to SCREEMINRED. but overall I like the tires. If I wanted a dead hook on the street though, id get the DR version. I'm building my car more for Handling. but the regular version seems like a great compromise for driving around town, get more tread wear then the DR.

Nice. I have the 315 NT05's on the rear of mine and i love them. Hook pretty good with 4.10's and n20 for me. Haven't tried them at the track either. Good autoX tires also

Do you heat them up before you launch them on the street?

I haven't. I can launch pretty decent with them. But i dont shoot the nitrous till second gear.
