UTQG: 200 AA, A (All Sizes)

Click here for: Sizes, Specs, and Pricing on the Nitto NT05

The new Nitto NT05 is a maximum performance tire that was developed using advanced computer simulation and extensive on-track testing. These development methods along with rigorous quality standards help produce a street tire that provides precise and responsive handling and performance


TECHNOLOGY

- Reinforced shoulder tread blocks provide exceptional rigidity and stability

- The continuous center rib consistently provides optimum tread contact with the road to maximize dry performance

- The specifically formulated tread compound and reinforced internal construction emphasizes dry road response, traction, handling, and high speed capabilities


Nitto released the familiar NT555 over 10 years ago, and set the standards for UHP tires with its class leading contact patch and superior grip.

Seeing the evolution of contemporary performance cars, Nitto created the NT05 for higher horsepower cars looking for more of everything. The NT05 has an all-new tread compound that enhances traction, a large continuous center rib which increases the contact patch and reinforced shoulder blocks. All the new NT05 features translate in to real numbers*: 38% more cornering force and 34% more lateral stiffness compared to the NT555. Those are numbers you will feel through the steering wheel with quicker response, crisper turn-in, and improved grip.

If you are running the NT05, post your review here along with a picture or two - we (as well as Nitto) would love to read them.

 

I found an article on Muscle Mustang & Fast Fords pertaining to the NT05 and wet traction. Great information, check out the link below!

 

why so many bloody tall tires... how about some 285/30/18s.... at least i can use the 255/40/17 on my car now but damn... some 285/30/18s would help once in a while...

Thanks for the Input. Nitto will read this information so if anyone else has any input or suggestions, post up!

 

well most of the cars now like the challenger have taller tires than we use on our cars and the new camaro will also be that way.

 

how much for the 335/30-19 ???? and when will they be out

 

We have them in stock ready to ship! Here you go!

 

These look like a really nice option...

The NT05 has reinforced outer tread blocks and reinforced internal construction for more stability and response at higher speeds. Not to mention the continuous center rib is huge!

Here's a review I found on G35Driver...

 

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.

Good G35 link write-up

Thank you for your support! If you can, an honest write up would be appricated! Pics would be nice as well! Thanks again!

 

any chance on a 285-40-17? looking at a Falken 615 or the NT05.

 

Price isn't bad at all on a 275/40, what is the life expectancy?

 

The 285/40-17 size is not currently built. I'm not sure if Nitto plans to produce this size or not. Like I mentioned before, Nitto will read this.

The tread wear rating is 200 on the NT05 so if driven on hard you can expect anywhere from 10K to 15K. Time will tell.

 

I'll be trying a set when i wear out my Nitto 555 R's... (315/35/17).. Look great

Here's a few pictures we took of the 315/35-17 NT05

 

They look badass!

 

do these run skinny like most of the Nitto lineup? maybe we can get a side by side comparison of ohhh i dont know a KDW vs. GS-D3 vs. NT05??????

 

Need to make a 245/45/15 for the small cars that need huge grip. We have the rims to hold a 275, but a 225 is the largest anyone gives us in a 15 inch rim

 

Yea I understand american muscle cars tend to have a taller tire, but guys like me with a 240sx, or guys with subaru wrxs, guys with honda s2000s could very happily utilize the 285/30/18 sizes, 25" tall or shorter tires, etc... 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...
