Introducing The Nitto NT05"R" Drag Radial 
UTQG: 00 B, B (All Sizes)
Click here for: Sizes, Specs, and Pricing on the Nitto NT05R
The all-new NT05R is a D.O.T.-compliant competition drag radial designed for serious drag racing enthusiasts. The dual-purpose sidewall construction and the all-new specialized race compound enhance traction during launch and deliver stability at the top-end. This results in improved* consistency and controllability from the tire. The NT05R Will get you off the line quickly and down the track with confidence and speed.
The new NT05R Drag Radial will not phaise 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.
TECHNOLOGY
- New drag-specific compound specifically engineered for maximum traction at the starting line
- Large center tread block provides excellent dry traction and continuous contact patch
- Sidewall construction with high-modulus bead filler and large shoulder blocks increase straight-line stability
CURRENT SIZES
LL Indicates Light Load. Technical Information subject to change without notice. P345/30R19 scheduled for release March 2010.
REVIEWS
If you are running the NT05R, post your review here along with a picture or two - we (as well as Nitto) would love to read them.

Someone do a comparison review when they pick up a pair. Hmmm.... DR's for 20" wheels.... Interesting.

Reza,
After my conversation with the Nitto Rep. These are going to be right in the middle traction wise between a 555R and a M/T. He was very forth coming about it not being as aggressive as the mickey, but its going to be a TON better than the 555. Kinda aimed more towards the 400-500 rwhp crowd.

Interested, I expect that it's probably similar to the new Toyo DR. I like this tire design better so I hope it works out for them.
If NITTO is reading this please make the 315/35/17 of this DR the same width as the NITTO 555 and NOT the 555R. I would never run the 555R due to it being way too narrow.
Was only going to run the Toyo, but I'm interested in seeing what these can do!!!
