I have been considering the NT05 drag radial. I have a real hard time hooking up at street speeds on street tires. Recently I picked up a set of the regular NT05 tires for the street. Would like feedback on the NT05 drag radials also.

Here are my regular NT05s...

I work at discount tire and have heard good things but I wouldn't know hands on.

My buddy runs nt05rs while i run nt555rs

The nt05rs hook really really well

i've got the nto5's and they hook up real well especially after you get some heat in them.

casper gt · March 22nd, 2011, 03:12 PM

it kinda depends on the size your looking at. if theres a Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial II in the size your looking at, then get the M/T if not your stuck with the NT05r.

NT05r's will hook up but they pale in comparison to a Mickey Thompson.

im surprised no one has said this but the also do not last very long.... like 4000 miles or so.

I kinda figured anyone looking at a tire of this nature would already know that but your right you wouln't get very many miles from them.

mileage is one thing i tend to always think of when it comes to tires. 555r's get good mileage and hook well.

very correct on the 555r's, the NT05's & the M/T srII's are in a diffrent class of tire though, if you really need those, the 555r's are worthless to you.

just throwing options out there the op might have over looked

Um lookin to buy another set of DR's n was tryin to find some comparisons. I came across this test between the Nitto NT05R's n the M/T DRII's!

toyo proxes r888's are pretty sick, but they cost alot. i have also heard good things about the toyo proxes tq tires. they are a cheap dragradial that sticks.

m&h makes a sick drag radial that i would put up their with the m/t II's

Pale in comparison? I disagree completely. The NT05R is just as good as the MTs.

I've seen plenty of guys try the NT05r's none of them are running them this year, proof enough for me.

your smoking some crack! NT05R's may be good for your power level but do not come close to the mt drag radials at higher hp levels.

sc55509 · March 22nd, 2011, 11:14 PM

About how many miles can you get on 555r's compared to the nto5r?

from what I've personally seen, about you'll get about 4 times the milage from a 555r

stal94gt · March 22nd, 2011, 11:17 PM

top drag radials for high hp cars are the mt drag radial's, mt drag radial 2's, m&h race masters, toyo r888's, nitto drag radials fall in a distant 6th.

And I know plenty of guys that ditched MTs for NT05Rs this season.

I'm not, are you?? What higher power levels do they not work that the MT blow them out of the water?

Everyone is more than entitled to their opinion. We both have different ones but from my experience the NT05Rs worked just as good for me as the MT Drag Radials. Both spun the same off of first and caught traction at roughly the same distance down the track.
