Going to get NITTO NT05 but a question first!

02GT89 · March 15th, 2010, 11:26 PM

Like it says I am going to buy a set of Nitto NT05'S for the rear and was wondering if anyone has run them or is, what their experience is with them and the longivity of the tire! If the tire can last all summer I will be happy!

BakerFX4 · March 15th, 2010, 11:32 PM

post a pic... if they are the ones im thinking of, they do look pretty badass!

sorry to lazy to post in photobucket its nitto's upgrade from the 555 and im just getting the regular nt05 don't need a DR, I don't make enough power for that!

Mustang03 · March 15th, 2010, 11:34 PM

well i am currently running them and i love them. ive had them on for about 2500 miles and they still look brand new. now granted i dont do a burnout at every stop sign and stop light they have been through a few heat cycles but i would recommend them and had no problems in the rain either

02GT89 · March 15th, 2010, 11:36 PM

^ reps thats what I was wondering I rarely do burnouts I have only done one since I bought the car in NOV of 09!

BakerFX4 · March 15th, 2010, 11:38 PM

they look badass. Kinda look transformer like.

mell0 · March 15th, 2010, 11:40 PM

where can you get your hands on the new nt05 and the dr version?

BadBlackGT · March 15th, 2010, 11:43 PM

idk... the thing i've been wondering. Which is better? The 555r or the nt05r?

BakerFX4 · March 15th, 2010, 11:46 PM

which is better for what? I think the one posted above will outlast the 555r but dont think it is as soft/sticky.

02GT89 · March 15th, 2010, 11:50 PM

actually the nt05 out did the 555 in every aspect and you can gt the DR'S from am.com or nitto themselves.

BakerFX4 · March 15th, 2010, 11:50 PM

555's or 555r's?

Mustang03 · March 15th, 2010, 11:51 PM

the nto5r is a pretty good dr. i have these and they hook pretty well. i havent tried the 555rs but i can tell you its such a nice difference then regular street tires actually being able to hook off the line

Mustang03 · March 15th, 2010, 11:51 PM

you can get them from discount tire also

so the nt05r hooks better than the 555rs noticeably? For some reason, i heard the nt05r's aren't as good to hooking up.

BakerFX4 · March 15th, 2010, 11:55 PM

arent 555 and 555r's different? I dont see them being BETTER than the DR's. Maybe better than the 555's but not the 555R's but im not too sure!

02GT89 · March 16th, 2010, 12:00 AM

they had an article on the 555 vs nt05 and 555r vs the nt05r and If I recall right the NT05 whooped up

BakerFX4 · March 16th, 2010, 12:01 AM

damn, i wouldnt have thought that. Nice!

Nitto NT05 vs Nitto NT555 [Cornering Force Comparison]

Shaun03GT · March 16th, 2010, 12:10 AM

The NT-05's look so sick. Where did you find them? And how much?

Also, in MM&FF The have article called "Shake 'N Bake" its a 03 Mach 1, they got a 1.7 60 on the NT05s, and the car is setup for autox and it was raping ACR Vipers, ZO6's and Nissan GTR's in the twisties, but the Mach got pulled on in straight aways. SRA w/ NT05 FTMFW!!

02GT89 · March 16th, 2010, 12:12 AM

well I just realised my tires are too small so I am gonna go with a nitto555 or some other cheap variation of summer rubber! but theres alot of places to buy them and they are around 130$ a piece
