these are 305-35-20 NT555R tho but maybe they can get some 315 NT05R theyre in fullerton according to the listing http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Nitto...s#ht_536wt_939
heres a set 315 NT05R $628.00 shipped to your door and if its shipped from arizona warehouse it should take no more than 2 days i would think http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2-315...ht_2499wt_1165

Call discount tire/America's Tire. They won't have them in stock, but they can usually order them.

do not buy tires from ebay. you wont get any sort of warranty, or roadsize hazard insurance like most places give for free. (like free tire inflations and balances) for buying from a store

Lies.

I got a great price for my NT05Rs through discount tire; Sure it was an 5-10 dollars more than the online price but its totally worth it buying through a local tire store than online then paying for some mom and pop shop to mount/balance them which in my experience hasn't ever been good. I get the price from discounttiredirect.com and call a local discount tire and they've always price-matched thier discounttiredirect.com price.

how do you like the NT05R's? I'm thinking about getting them over the MT's for street driving. How do you think they will do on a 500+ wheel car with 4.10's? I'm using 555r's and though they last a very long time they spin very easy.

I dont think they make a 305/35/18 in the reg 555 only 555R.

$511 is a good deal out the door after taxes.

If your making any power tho.... I would go with the MT DRs for $573 out the door after taxes... They will hook way better... Night and day difference!

I'm only at 400 but my co-worker also has em on his 2011 GT500 and he's making 685 rwhp and he's loving them. For me, it's not very easy to spin them and for my co-workers car he can still spin them but only if he wants to

I don't daily drive my car but I can remember the noteable of times i've driven it...
Since the day i installed my tires last year:
-1 Rally from OC to Amarillo,TX and back taking the scenic route
-1 Willow Springs Track Day
-2 bakersfield trips
-2 Valencia trips


I just to the wear bars on them and I was not very nice to the tires by any stretch of the imagination I really have enjoyed them. I thought the rally alone would of killed them but they've impressed me with thier life. However, please don't drive in the rain with these. I imagine they are safer than MTs but not as safe (if you call it that) as NT555Rs.

They dont make the nt05 in a 305/35/18 either... You can get them in a 295/35/18 which is stock size.

I found this out when I had some M/T mounted and the tech told me they price match any online price..

so no shipping + $10 off each tire..
