flippy1974 Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 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. I can get anything but a hoosier on my car to hook.with the hoosier I can dead hook on a dig on the street. And my buddy has a 95 cobra that had nittos and mh and on the street they would spin till 3rd and finally got hoosiers and now no spin on the street and he has a full race setup to front and back like me.

TurboRust Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 sam I can get the nt01's but they shouldnt be considered a drag radial..they are a stiff road race tire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam1647545489 Posted June 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Ok thanks Derek, I got a 26" drag radial here and hopefully I will get a day this week to have it mounted and see if it will fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirks5oh Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 the new nittos are great from what i've heard. if you're looking for a tire for a car that sees mostly street duty, and light track duty, nittos are the way to go. my 555r's are just about bald, and they still dead hook in second when warm. they will incinerate in first gear, but hook good in second from a 40 roll. i was able to cut 1.75 60' times at the track and i'm a novice. when cold, they will spin at 80mph though. i've had them on my car for 3 years (roughly 7,000 miles)---bfg's and mt's/etc won't last nearly that long. my cobra makes roughly 590 to the wheels, with 575rwtq, and the tires are 315's i also have 555r's on my GTO, and will drive them in the rain sometimes--these are the 275's. my GTO makes 375rwhp and the 275's hook very well. i'm going to put the new track nittos on my cobra and my vette this summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillJoy Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 I ran these on the Maruader. They hooked about as well as I could have hoped for. Many guys who were running them on the MM's did better at the track as opposed to using normal DRs... KillJoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KillJoy yeah but you we're planting 4000 lbs on them with a sold rear, thats a little different.. you car also dropped like .6 tenths with m/t's on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomicfusion1647545515 Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 they were like being on Ice for me... your car is a monster and I think they will be slippery at best. The new ones Linn was talking about are supposed to be really good though, if they make a size you can use. I have heard a lot of Corvette guys saying they are using the new ones with success.

hpfiend Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 I have Nitto NT-05s on my c5z that hook pretty well actually but I am stock at probably 340-360 to the tire on 295s. If I dead hammer it below 60 degrees they will spin but if I ease into it and then hammer it they spin slightly then stick. Above 70 degrees they don't spin at all with a proper application of throttle to wot probably at 25-30% through first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Get their newer nt05 tire, it is a better drag radial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hpfiend Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 05R is drag radial. 05 is a street/road racing tire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
