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...

a 315/30-18 would be nice

ANY CAMARO, FIREBIRD, CORVETTE guy would DIE for a.....

Maybe we should get a poll going for desired sizes?

I agree, the 315/30-18 would be a great size to build.

I would like to see a comparison in 315/35/17 to see if it runs smaller like the 555r drag radials.

So you want to see a side by side shot of the NT05 compared to the 555R in the 315/35-17 size?

If you could add in another tire as well, like a GSD3 of the same size, that would be great.

I also vote for a 315/30/18 tire!!

We do not have the F1-GSD3 in stock in the 315/35-17 size. I'll have my DC take side by side photos of the Nitto line up in the 315/35-17 size. This may take a while so I appreciate your patience. What's nice is that all the Nitto 315/35-17's are in the same location in our distribution center.

I'm not the one taking the photos, I send a special request to one of my distribution centers. They are busy shipping product so getting photos of the models and sizes you requested will be pretty time consuming. We also do not have the GSD3 in stock in the 295/35-18 size and the 275/35-18 size has been discontinued

You can also check out the manufactures spec sheet on their website to see the actual measured section width.

I wish they had these in 245/50/16, but I realize there probably isn't enough demand since no one makes wheels in that size anymore. I had the Neogens on my wife's Mazda6 wagon and was very impressed, especially for the cost.

Here you go BigRob...Looks like the lineup is pretty comparable in overall section width but I think the NT555 Extreme Performance looks the widest.

Is it just me or does it look like you don't get a whole lot of tread on the NT-05?

So what would it take to get them to make 285/30/18 and 315/30/18?

Couldn't tell you for sure. I assume their would need to be a mass consensus to have a particular size built. Like I said prior, Nitto will read this.
