Default Nitto NT-05's running small?

Anyone purchased a set of the new NT-05 Nittos and are they still running small compared to other mfg's tires of the same size. Alot of people said Nittos run small but I have hear they have fixed the problem and the sizes are comparable to the other brands now.

Thanks

Nittos' always seem to run slightly more narrow than others. My NT-555's are just a little more narrow than my old BFg's.

im pretty sure but those are the regular nitto 555 tires not the drag radial 555r's correct? they look pretty close to the same height, are the r's the same width as the regular 555 just a different compound?

Yeah, those are Nitto's street tires; NT-555's. I am not sure how they compare to the R's, I only have them in 15" 275's and 17" 275's.

They say most Nitto's run small, but I am not so sure they all do..

See the pic, only a 315 looks like a 335 NT01
