I need honest answers on nittos

[Sam1647545489]

The 555r tire. How do they hook on the street. I need high hp cars with them on.

They were great on my car.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh...you said high HP.

 

 

They were still great on my car.

[MrMeanGreen]

Horrible, and I was only making 400rwhp at the time.

MT's work a lot better. My car made 508 and 1st gear was useless on the street and didn't hook up till top of 2nd. The MT's spin just a bit in 1st and hook after. I had 315/35/17 of both.

[Cordell]

400rwhp on my Camaro doesn't hook for shit on the street, a lillte spray and they don't stand a chance at the track either.

[I Eat Rice]

They worked wonders on any car that I have had, however, the highest hp car was only making 347 whp. I ran the nitto 555 r. With that car I was able to 20 roll all night long with no traction problems at all. I am going to assume when you say high hp you mean well more than that so a more sticky selection of nitto would be a must for you.

mach 1 made insta torque with the eaton and would blow them off in 1st and 2nd....however if you decide to go with em lemme know as i should have the best price in town

Nitto has a new DR the NT05R. Sam the nittos were great at 160mph and the back end of my car didn't move around like it does with my M&Hs. From a dig the nittos were crap but fine from a roll when my car was a bolt on car with spray.

[RUTAN TA1647545492]

I hated them on my car, it would turn the low trac light on if i down shifted at 65 but Linn is right they feel good at 160. I would look into a different tire than the 555r

The issue I am having is a 26.1" tire wont fit in the rear of the car. Nitto makes a 25.5" nitto that I think will go hence why I asked. If I cant get the 26" to fit then I gotta run a 24" hoosier.

Still better than 555's

[Ramsey]

what size rim?

[Sam1647545489]

what size rim?

 

16" which is the hardest size to find tires for.

[Linc5.0]

i hated them on my car...

[Ramsey]

what about this

[Sam1647545489]

That is a 26.1" tire if I remember correctly.

calc said 26", might need to see what actual size is.

[Sam1647545489]

I am trying to get alil more gear out of my rear end as its the highest gear for the car that I know of. 2.92 gear is in it now and it tops out at about 145mph so if I could get the 26" tire to fit I might be able to squeeze a few more mph out of it and get it to the 150 mark.

in case you're considering these, that isn't a correct picture. the 255-50-16's come in a traditional bfg tread not the new tread... not brian, and wagner both have them no the backs of their cars.

[Sam1647545489]

Derek, do you guys have the Nitto NT01 drag radial tire.

[BDHG940]

Whitlows 03 was making just over 500rw and hooked on the streets. Barely spin for a moment launching from a light but 20+ roll it would just stick. I think he had a little wider though than what you would be able to run. I heard a few people talking about that new dr as well and heard some good reviews. There was a thread I believe on Svtperformance about them recently

[Trouble Maker]

Every tire is a little different.

 

It might be a little of a guessing game, or digging pretty deep. But I bet some of those tires that are 26.1" by the sidewall numbers will fit under the car (if you are saying a 26" tire will fit). Unless that is even at 26" by the sidewall numbers some fit and some don't. Look at the revs/mi number (tire rack has these), it will give a you a better idea comparatively how tall a tire actually is. Get the # for a tire that you know fits, then look at others you are interested in, even if it says 26.1" by the sidewall #. A tire like the 555 won't stretch as much at speeds a a DR will either.

 

What is causing the rubbing issues? Can you roll the fenders or have you already done that or don't want to?
