MT recommends 16 psi on the 305/35/20 so I don't see why 15 psi on the NT05 would hurt anything. Only way to know is to try!

18 is the sweet spot for us on those.
Good luck! Ivan @ Southwest Speed |

Are we talking about the regular NT05 and not the drag radial version the NT05R
two entirely different tires..
