Wow, I clearly missed that one lol, congrats on the tire man

 

i thought you might get a laugh out of that one.no worries man i do it all the time.lol

 

Well these tires are quite good compared to my stocks from the line even not being the NT05R. Dumped the clutch at about 4500 and spun a bit and then hooked and took off, haven't made it to the track with them yet that should be by the end of the month.

I could only imagine a true meant to hook from the line

 

I've had NT05s on my car for a couple months.

They work alright on an EXTREMELY well prepped track (when I had it at Milan Dragway in Michigan), but are completely useless on anything else (when I was at St. Thomas last weekend). Realized a 1s difference between the two tracks actually.

I got 285/35/18s, and this is with about 600whp.

 

you must remember that a 35 series has no sidewall to speak of for flex/wrinkle so off the line traction is going to suffer a lot.15 inch rims are best for racing with the height of tire we can run.some funnycars and dragsters use 16 and 17 inch rims but the tires are also 34-36 inches tall .

 

Absolutely. If you want to hook up 600 hp, you need to be running proper drag tires on 15" or 16" wheels, not 35-series drag radials.

Really? Didn't know that.

 

if you seriously want to go fast put a set of 28x10 slicks on 15 inch rims and hang on. i tried my mickey t's and man do they hook good.good for a drag radial on a 17 inch rim that is.

 

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhh.......

I have 10.5W ETs, I was just offering up a review of NT05s at the track.

I know how to go fast.

 

okee dokee then.
