Default Nitto NT-05R's on the street
I've been driving around with the new Nitto drag radials. I don't want to take them off. They have a stiffer sidewall than normal dr's which makes them not drift. The traction is great. Went for a drive today and didn't break the tires loose once. With my street tires I have to feather the throttle in 1st and 2nd. They really look good on the car too. 305/45/18 has some sidewall to it.

I might just have to drive these all summer.

I have the 555r DRs, same size. I am very impressed with how well they hold power. The hold better than the MTs I had and I have 60' 1.70 on them with 3.55s. They are not my track tire, but I did take them one time and let someone else use my tires.
