Stock P Zeroes vs. Nitto NT05r? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

If y'all want a street/track tire that I am thoroughly impressed with...is the new Mickey Thompson ET Street S/S. I have a pair on my stock 20s (305/35/20). LOVE these tires. Great for street and great in the rain..and im talking multiple trips in torrential downpours.

Come on John, you can get another 2 miles out of those tires!

How much were they installed? Who did you go to? I am somewhat limited due to the Forgeline rims. How many miles per set are you getting?

ravensjeff · 03-04-2016, 12:36 PM

Hmm, don't see 315's for the 20" rim for the MT ET Street S/S's. Also says not to use them on a dyno?

bhillakaiceberg · 03-04-2016, 12:40 PM

Yea no 315s avail for 20in rim. As for the dyno, IDK. I have only had these for about 4 months now. They r about $367 a piece. I ordered thru Jegs and my shop put them on for me.

Those tires are only around $367 a piece? That is close enough to the Nitto's. But, the ones I found for a 20" rim were around $600-700. I would rather have the Mickey's if they are that price.

G701LE · 03-04-2016, 05:28 PM

You were right. $367 each. I don't know what I was looking at. So which would be better for hooking on the street? 315/35/20 NT05R or the MT s/s et's 305/35/20? Thanks for the replies

G701LE · 03-05-2016, 01:20 AM

The hell with it. I just ordered 2 NT05r's off EBay and got $100 off. So I only paid $566 with free shipping. Should tide me over till I get more upgrades.

Wait... You fit 305's on the stock 20's? I don't believe you if you're talking about stock 20x9 wheel.

The NT05R is a great tire in the dry but if you daily drive your car it might not be the best option. They do not like cold and wet at all.

Good move, you wont be disappointed. There is nothing like getting sticky tires on your machine.

I had no problems in rain until they were down to the wear bars.

Interesting. Granted, my experience with them is on a 4th Gen SS at 3400lbs with 4.11s.

I feel like such an idiot. I didn't even think to ask if these tires will fit the stock rim. I am only running them on the back for now, but what a dumbass I am! I hope 315's fit..........
