I have run those for the last two summers on stock rims.

I run the NT05R on my widened wheels.The are superior than the M/T radial to say the least, but they also lasted 800 miles but no complaints here.

That's not even a round trip to Louisville!!! :lol:

Oh well I guess I'll keep looking! :P

NT05 is their max performance tire that works great in the rain and can use to track; NT05R are drag radials.

I'd get the NT05 - it grips and makes these beasts stick to the road.

The nt05 would last alot longer. Mine DR didnt last longer because i do alot of racing.

Never tried them, but I do run the Nt555 Drag radials and they are pretty good. not as good as the M/T on the track, but a way better driving tire in all weather conditions.......

I have put about 3000 road miles on them, my fair share of smoke shows for the public and have seen about a dozen or so 1/4 mile runs at the track with them in the last two years. The picture you have posted of them Doom, really doesn't do them any justice. This is a tire you must see and experience 1st hand to really appreciate. I will for sure need to replace them sometime next year due to the lead foot I some time have.

i'll have a set of the NT05R s soon:banana2:

Lets see, 800 miles divided by .25 = awesome!
