Tires

Ditching the nittos and going with...............................

nittos! decided to give the nt05r's a try. Tossing them on tonight. Yes, I had bought M&H's but eagle ended up buying those off me to replace his burnt off tires.

If they suck, no big deal. I'll just try something else next season. I've really liked the 555r's. They were great when i was making around 450/460 and continue to be a great daily stickier tire, but they cant hold the powa when i need them too. Ive heard good things about the nt05's so we shall see

I'll likely be picking up a dedicated drag tire next year so as long as these hold on the street, i'll be happy.

Yeah that's what scared me from the NT05Rs. Those look killer though. Can't wait to see them on the car.

 

[Mook]

im gonna keep the 555r's around for days when i need to drive my car on long trips.

Want so bad... Too cheap to pull trigger till current nt05's are showing cords

had those on my z, went to the Michelin super sports, super sports stick better on the street

Were you using the NT05R or just the NT05? I highly doubt the Michelins are a better drag tire.

the r.
I get better traction on the street with the SS.

Multiple tire options FTW. In for smokey burnout pics.

Whoa those are awesome looking!

 

[greasy]

Better traction as to what turning, from a dig? Why are more people not running the Michelin Super Sports then?

Very nice man! I am interested to see how these work out for you.

 

[blck10th]

Are those stock size? And you make what 580-600? I had them last year. I was going to go back to a mt but went m&h instead.

Did not like.

I'll give em a try. If they don't work, then it's the end of the season anyway so no big deal.

be careful with those if you get caught in the rain

 

[Mook]

Ya. The car is going to be out on joyrides far less.

 

[daturbosix]

pshhh. sally.

You better be careful about getting caught in the rain.

 

[EmersonHart13]

KDX can fix it if you do.

better marginally from a dig, much better from a second gear wot hit, I have hit 1.04G on a nice sweeping curve by my house that I was getting in the .8x range with the ntr....the ntr didn't feel as planted so I didn't push it.....just easier with the SS. although I have never driven either tire in the rain, I don't fear getting caught in the rain with the SS because they look like they would be the better performer visually.

I feel the Michelin is the far better tire for the street....don't know why they aren't popular...maybe length of time they have been available? maybe because they don't perform well on track? dunno, but they work for me and the way I use my car.
