I have no clue what they are rated at, and no I do not go to the track, just a street car is all

Those are some very good looking tires. Let us know how they work on the street... I need something a lil sticky for my car.

Mind if I ask a price on them?

They feel good so far, only drove it 3 miles with them on so far. yea i dug through a bunch of websites and finally found them for 252.99 a tires, ends up being 282 after shipping, my final price for both tires was 564.
I can post link to website if you would like it, It was almost a 100 bucks cheaper than everywhere else i looked

Really? From what I hear Nittos were always smaller in size then most other brands. Maybe they changed it up? Not sure, but there are tons of people on forums that say Nittos run small. Might be only certain tires they have, but I thought it was all of them.

Nitto 555Rs run small for sure. These new nittos look way fat.

Here is a Nitto 555r (the nitto tire that ran small) compared to the new Nitto NT05r DOT slick. Both are same size below, Nitto 555r on left and Nitto NT05r on right.

Article of how the Nitto beat the MT streets.

neat article, i actually wanted to go back with nitto's but their prices have gotten so high on 18's and they didnt have any 35 height ones as well so i decided to try these bf goodrich's, i was wanting the nt05's bad but the price was just to high for my liking
