On the way

 

I think you need to make some 315/18 also for the big brake guys that want more tread. Also I know its way off on the usual size but I think u could totaly own the market share with a good 325 or 345/30/15 and 275/40/15 for road race cobra, GT40, and old school rides that can use 15" rims and get some real width on them. something that would allow guys to run cheap 15x12" rims or even use 15x9.5" nascar rims. Nobody is making any road race tires for this size right now, its all just drag radials and slicks, or really crapy compound street tires.

 

NT05 really isn't a road race tire, and when used in road racing applications can get slick after two or three continuous laps... Maybe you are thinking of the NT01 which is a competition tire meant for road racing? The NT01 is the Nitto equivalent of the Toyo RA1. The NT05 is a street tire suited for autocross (short lap times) or street driving. I was able to do nearly 50 miles of aggressive street driving (seen in my signature picture) without the tires getting slippery, but if I pushed any harder then they would have been slippery after the first few miles.

 

I want some 315/45-55/18's!! Make em, and sell them to me cheap. Or atleast just make them. I just want the widest tallest tire for z06 18/10.5's Best you guys have for now is the 305/45/18 right?

 

Anything for stock size wheels, 16"?

 

i completely dissagree. my friend ran 3 road course sessions in his evo 8 last year with nt05's. he really pushed them hard, like HARD and they never got slick, they just kept on grabbing. i also run these tires on my ws6 and do a lot of aggressive driving and they are fine. the nt01 IS a better tire, but its more expensive and not at all a street tire.

 

Damnnn i just realized the sizes i want are only in the drag radial version. when is something in the 315 range for 18's gonna be out? Preferably at least in the 40-45[or bigger] sidewall range.

Pm sent to tire direct

 

durtyss, im on my 2nd set of NT05's. i run a 275/35/18 at around 30-32 psi. never an issue.

 

What do you guys have in 315/35/17?

 

i dont know whats up ive even had a few 555r before and they were great im not really hard on my car id figure they would hook from a low roll,im amost done with the build on my car i have to have d r,i was going to go back to nittos but prob not now

yes 315 35 17

 

The vast majority of the reviews are positive. I need a set of new tires and think I will go with the NT05. 275 315 17" for the SS. I currently have 555R on the rears (2nd set) but want to get a better cornering tire as I only hit the strip 2 to 3 times a year. I have 555 extremes on the Cobra and it handles nice a predictable.
I'll sleep on it tonight to make sure I'm not buying impulsively.

The NT05’s stick greatly, point the car in the direction your aiming and holding true is very confidence inspiring with these tires. I would honestly have to say a notch above some of the best tires I have tried. Grip is definitely noticeable and in general the NT05’s give you a great overall sense of “hugging” the street.

I then went to a remote road section and was able do switch backs and overly aggressive grip U-turns in order to see if I could feel or loose the NT05’s and was able to do so, but only on wildly aggressive maneuvers so in my book they preformed amazing. The sidewalls held great and I can’t say these tires are a hard sidewall but they are definitely not soft. I did specifically try to rim check with these tires going over horrible protruding railroad crossings and I was never able to hit wheel so the sidewalls held up great. Comfort level was great and never any harsh shock or jerk to prove otherwise.

Highway driving is smooth, quiet and effortless, there is no “humm” or “burr burr burr” sound while cruising. Lane changes over uneven road/highway surfaces were smooth and clean, no sudden jerks or stiff sidewalls pulling one way or the other. There were no loud sounds or noticeable unwanted steering wheel pull/vibrations. I was able to drive on both asphalt and concrete sectional highway surfaces when testing the NT05’s.

I was able to track (Autocross) the NTO5’s and was happy with them and never once lost confidence on where I was pointing or where I wanted to go………grip was evident through out the entire event on the front mounted NT05’s.



My wet weather assessment consist of about 25 percent of the time over dry daily driving:

I did get to briefly test the NT05’s in wet weather daily driving. They did defiantly perform well. I will admit they are amazing in dry conditions, yet they are nearly as awesome in wet. I use the word “nearly” purposely to ensure everyone knows that they are a better dry tire. I was able to maintain grip in mild speed u-turns, faster main road exits and off ramps. It took aggressive driving for them to loose grip.

I find that more than acceptable since that type of driving shouldn’t be done and was honestly asking for trouble. However, I figured for me I want to know the limits and aimed to push them regardless. Overall I drive responsibly in wet and have no problem or worry daily driving NT05’s
