NITTO NT05
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.

Nitto NT05 Review

With two wide circumferential grooves, this tire does a great job evacuating water. According to Nitto's comparison list, the NT05 has better wet traction when compared to the NT555 Extreme Performance.

How do the NT05 compare to the BFG T/A KDW NT??

Discount Tire Direct · March 24th, 2009, 02:04 PM

These tires are in two different classes. The NT05 is considered a Max Summer Performance tire where as the KDW NT is considered an Ulta High Performance tire. The NT05 will be little stickier but probably won't last as long. The BFG NT should do a little better in wet conditions. The NT05 will also have a stiffer sidewall.
