Nitto NT05
So do they actually make a NT05 285/35/18? I just ordered a set of NT05's with rims. I called DTD and they said NT05's did not come in 285/18, the listing in this post looks like they do. The 275's look a little small on 9.5's. I already put 200 miles on the tires so it is what it is now. Thanks.

Nitto does not however, produced their NT05R (Drag Radial) in the 285/35-18 size.

My NT05's mounted on 10.5 10 Spokes and a shot of the 1.5" diff between the 315-35 and the 275-40's
Thanks to DIscount tires direct, gave me a great deal and shipped for free.

Anyone else got some real world tread life figures on these? I'm debating between these and the Continental ExtremeContact DW in 275/40/17. Anyone else cross-shopped these?
I know I'll give up some performance with the Contis, but they sound like a good overall tire. If the tread life is that much better I may just go that route. I plan on doing a couple track days this year though - that's why I keep coming back to the Nittos.
Of course Discount Tire has these at the exact same price right now, so that doesn't help narrow them down either. Decisions, decisions.

I just bought C5 DD 18x9.5 wheels, im interested in the NT05's but i want to know if they would fit my wheels and my car without rubbing or any issues in 285/35/18 all around or would i have to get 275/35/18???? Thanks
do I need to call Nitto up and knock some sense into their heads? A good sticky tire that is affordable in 315/30/18 needs to be produced. I like in Savannah, where it'll be sunny one minute and pouring rain the next, I can't exactly run a drag radial.

You could try to do that, or give them several thousand dollars to make new molds...

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.
