Default First opinion on Nitto NT05R

Finally got a set of the NT05R's in a 315/35/17. Drove them for the first time in 45 degree weather. Mods in sig. First full throttle hit was from a stop with 5 min of drive time on the tires so they were still cold and slick. Car spun first and dead hooked second and took off. Second full throttle hit was right after the first. Spun a little but hooked better than any tire I have had on the car. I would imagine these things would be awesome at the track in some decent weather.

It was the smart *** "cool story bro" comment that rubbed me the wrong way. If it wasn't intended to be a smart *** comment then I apologize. Rough day at work and I guess I just saw it at the wrong time.

Summit & WS6Store has NT05 & NT05R's in 315, I bought some 315/35/17's a few weeks ago

They can be found often on ebay motors as well (if you're the ebay sort)

NT05 > 555 or 555 II
