700rwhp with the stock tires isnt working very well. What tires work best on these?

WheelmanSS · 01-18-2013, 10:45 AM

For what purpose? That's too general of a question.

I use NT05s for the street. I drive my car seasonally, so the mileage/cost is manageable.

I'm on 18" Weld RT-S with a 305/45/18 MT ET Street II DR out back. I'm making 844whp and it hooks good. The guy I got them from had stock 20s with Nitto DRs on and he said they absolutely suck for his power level. North of 800 as well. He sold me the 18" welds to go 17s with slicks for the track.

Same here for the street..... it's the only tire that seems to not instantly spin every time I blip the throttle. No winter driving here. M&H 17" 325's is my drag tire, changing to Hoosier slicks now. Pirellis breaking loose at 100 mph is no fun.

Are you guys running the r's or just the straight nt05?

Twin2010 · 01-18-2013, 06:34 PM

I didnt think they made a tire that would fit on the stock wheels in the nt05r

Supercharged SS · 01-18-2013, 06:36 PM

Stock Pirellis here. It was 19 degrees here today and the tires were fine.

Nitroman28 · 01-18-2013, 09:33 PM

Mickey Thompson Drag radials. 305/35/20. Work great on the street. Even hook good in thr rain. But wouldnt dirve them on the hwy in the rain.

Twin2010 · 01-18-2013, 11:30 PM

Do the 305 mickeys fit on the stock wheels without looking bulged

Nitroman28 · 01-19-2013, 01:47 AM

I think they look fine. Ill get a picture tomorrow.

What ever you do stay away from the Pirelli pzero rosso's. They Suck

With basically stock hp I switched to theses in 315/35/20 and anything under 40 they just spin! And I'm adding a supercharger in the spring so these will be in the fire!!

Need a good sticky rear tire in size listed above

Pretty good discussion here...I'll be trying the NT05 non DR soon.
