Nitto NT 05
This may be the perfect Driver Ed tire to drive to the track, do a Driver Ed, and drive back home on the same tire. Nitto Tire engineers have described this tire as ... “If you’ve wanted an R-compound tire on the street, but were afraid of the highway use warnings, the new NT05 is the tire for you."
I personally am excited about this tire, since as many of you know I’ve been running the Nitto NT 01 on my Evo with great success. I think the NT 05 will be priced right and be an excellent performer. This tire will be released for public sale in February 2009. Here’s a few quotes from the review on these tires:
"...Optimized for ultimate dry weather performance, the NT05 has a beefy, uninterrupted center contact patch for huge grip. Large reinforced tread blocks on the outer edge (they’re beveled for extreme g-loading) allow water to be channeled away, while providing best-in-class hook, on the highway, and on the track. "
"...Let me tell you, this rubber is super grippy to the touch. I simply can’t tell the difference between the rubber on the NT05 and the NT01."
"...If you demand max grip and you’re tired of your existing baloneys letting you down after spending thousands on suspension parts, brakes, and lightweight wheels, your train has arrived. "
