The new Nitto NT05 is a maximum performance tire that was developed using advanced computer simulation and extensive on-track testing. These development methods along with rigorous quality standards help produce a street tire that provides precise and responsive handling and performance
TECHNOLOGY
- Reinforced shoulder tread blocks provide exceptional rigidity and stability
- The continuous center rib consistently provides optimum tread contact with the road to maximize dry performance
- The specifically formulated tread compound and reinforced internal construction emphasizes dry road response, traction, handling, and high speed capabilities
Nitto released the familiar NT555 over 10 years ago, and set the standards for UHP tires with its class leading contact patch and superior grip.
Seeing the evolution of contemporary performance cars, Nitto created the NT05 for higher horsepower cars looking for more of everything. The NT05 has an all-new tread compound that enhances traction, a large continuous center rib which increases the contact patch and reinforced shoulder blocks. All the new NT05 features translate in to real numbers*: 38% more cornering force and 34% more lateral stiffness compared to the NT555. Those are numbers you will feel through the steering wheel with quicker response, crisper turn-in, and improved grip.

Just ordered some thru your online ebay store, great price, an extra 5% off.
Tread design looks promising for street and strip, will be going on some ZR1s. I am running the 555's right now on 19's, and am very happy. Lookin forward to testing these out, and am running Nitto's on the car and truck.

The 285/40-17 size is not currently built. I'm not sure if Nitto plans to produce this size or not. Like I mentioned before, Nitto will read this.
The tread wear rating is 200 on the NT05 so if driven on hard you can expect anywhere from 10K to 15K. Time will tell.

Yea I understand american muscle cars tend to have a taller tire, but guys like me with a 240sx, or guys with subaru wrxs, guys with honda s2000s could very happily utilize the 285/30/18 sizes, 25" tall or shorter tires, etc... In fact a 285/30/18 would fit perfectly on the front of my car... wide and low profile + shorter tire, just full of win. I know I'm not the only one desiring that... grip heaven.. and then some nice 315/30/18 in the back hehe...
