Are NT05Rs good for sub 1.5 60's? - Page 3 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Deke736 · 07-23-2013, 02:44 PM

I cannot seem to hook lately on my NT05R's. Mine are 18's. I really wish Hoosier made a 28" tall 18" DR tire. Since they don't, I'll probably be switching to the M/T's next time.

Rhino, did you swap out the 3.91 gears? Why?

Thanks.

No I didn't, old thread...lol.

I could have started a new thread just wondering how many street miles folks are getting on MT's or NT05R's. I know my 555R's last a long time, I read 10K miles sure seemed like that was possible. I'd get MT's but I'd then want to drive on them on a daily basis, I have driving around on regular tires that don't ever hook.

10k out of the MTs in a mild climate. 4k in heat.

Pro Stock John · 07-23-2013, 07:36 PM

Thanks Chris maybe I'll get those instead. I just need them for late April to early November, and I have a 5 mile commute.

Rockit_z28 · 07-23-2013, 08:27 PM

I got about 4000 out of mine, but I probably race more than some.

I run Weld RTS 17" with BMR LCA. Clears the Brembos just fine. 295 MT ET Streets and 26" M&H Skinny Radial on the front. I run a 17/8 Weld on the front for the street well sometimes.

nos6877 · 07-23-2013, 10:09 PM

Weld makes 17 inch wheels that clear the brembos. U will have to cut the 4 rollers off front brakes and you are good to go...
