Has anybody used nitto tires? If you have let me know what you think of them. -Thanks

[Racinjason81]

there pretty good for the money.IMO save up for BFGs they are way better

[homebrewed]

Hook great on the street. Last longer than M/T, but not as gummy on the street or strip...

i dont kno...my friend has a set of the nitto n555 extreme drag radials on his 2001 Z28 and they look good and and rlly light up well and seam to have great traction...but that could be becuase of the LT1...but there good...and the BFG's on my camaro suck...there prob 15,000 miles old and still squeel when i do a brake stand...they're garbage in turns and they squeel there too...the radial t/a's are nice looking but suck!!!

Well if you have BFG drag radials dont expect them to work well in the turns. Remember they are drag radials...

[Speedstang302]

yeah but there basically normal tires...they have all tread...dont see how they can even bee considered drag radials...T/A's are actually considered drag radials

[rk_2000_Z/28]

I liked mine a lot. They performed well when they were warm..but cold...not so much...or at all.

They are also fairly inexpensive for DRs and last longer than most from what I've heard. But I've also heard that the BFG and M/T tires are a lot better from a performance stand point.

that ur camaro???? cuz my friend has a 2001 SS w/ LT1 has the same wheels wrapped in nitto drag radials...and it black too

[BoostedMKIV]

Ayuh....I had Nitto 555's on my 350Z....nice traction, very sticky, but they don't last long.
Oh, and they are $$$$$$.

[Rustbelt]

are the street tires any good? i dont have the model # on me, sorry. i have never used their tires and dont know many who have. i'm not going to race this car, its a vert.

with the bad dunlaps i have on now i can smoke them thru 2nd. looking to hook a little sooner!

No they are not basically normal tires.. The sidewalls are designed to flex more than a normal tire giving you better grip along with the soft rubber compound.. Regular BFG T/A tires are not actually considered drag radials.. Who told you that? BFG makes a drag radial its called the G-Force T/A. They use T/A in some part of the name in their entire performance product line..

My bad! I just assumed you were asking about the DRs! I had the Nitto 420s on the front to go with the 555r tires on the back and my buddy has the normal 555 (not the 555r drag radials) on the front of his GT...but I've never driven a RWD car with NON-drag radial Nittos. Sorry

Both tires I mentioned seemed fine to me, but like I said it's hard to tell how well they perform on the front of a RWD car!

Yup! But all F-bodies made from '98-'02 came equipped with an LS1. Did your buddy do a motor swap? I read an article about a guy with a built LT1 in a later model Camaro that goes low 9's N/A with no spray!

[angermgt]

bfg's

[BrianNV]

What about Falken RT615's? Everyone I know seams to love those tires.

[Speedstang302]

its dickheads like that, that ruin this shit...it was just a question...he didnt ask u so sit there and shut up....if your so jealous of camaro's dont drive such a bad mustang...and my buddy did do a motor swap and its supercharger and is pushing i think maybe 550rwhp...its nasty..but my camaro's quicker of the line...

its only becuase anyone that owns a hummer or vette has a Small P*@I$..and has to make up for it...see these rich basterds have to pay $75,000 for a vette w/500hp when u can spend $10,000 on a stang that has way more horse and could handle and look better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sb2f5marine69]

No stangzilla this bs about ls1 bull shit dosnt have a place here. And u speedstang302 can go f@#K your self.

I run the Mickey Thompson Et street radial, hooks as well as their slicks, just dont last as long as others, Id use the MT's for a more drag only car, Nittos for more street than strip and BFG if its a good mix
