Default 315 NT05R's

I just got them in today. I must admit they look nice but smaller than what i thought they would look. They hook alot better than the bfg's I had. Still no track times but heading towards the track next weekend to see how they do. Anybody else running them?
Here's a couple pics, ill have more of them on the rims later.

They are a damn good looking tire for sure, but I went with the Toyo DR's because of the price and I'll feel safer if I ever get stuck in the rain with them

SOFB.. I JUST bought a set and NOW I find that they have R's... Would have been nice to get the more drag friendly version, but if they don't make them in 18's, I'll feel better. I still need a set of something for my stockers for the track, or I can TRY and hook on these 35 sidewall deals. Gettin mine back from the shop tomorrow from mounting. I'll try some street driving to see how they are, but it still is cold here. Supposed to be 57 this week, tho..

As for the width, my 285's are right at 11" wide.

^I had 275 NT05s on my old TA. and I loved them, you won't be disappointed, but for your power the R's definitely had the best deal for you

I orderd them thru an ebay store for 360 with free shipping. And yes the BFG's were bigger. But didnt hook as good as the nt05r's. I dont know how they do in the rain though.

Nice looking tire but they do look a little narrow. I'd like to see them mounted and a vid of how they hook.

There was a really good Review on them in the latest MM&FF (Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords). They went from the 275/40 NT555R to a 315/35 NT05R and dropped something like .4 in the 60 foot IIRC

Someone needs to write a review. I am interested in seeing how these perform. They do look awfully narrow, but I would like to see some pictures of these on a car.
