Geneo4116 Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Best drag radial for street use,for hooking up and for wear,will be driving about 2500 miles a year,would like them to last a couple years.dont plan on going to track,but May street race it a few times a year if the chance arises,other than that just CUZIN around,maybe a few 200 to 300 mile trips,are am I expecting to much out of a drag radial,and if I get caught in the rain are they gonna be any worse than the factory goodyears,and can they be driven in 50 60 degree temps will they hook when it's that cold.

SVTracer14 Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 Nitto NT555R's will last longer that some of the other options, such as NT05R or MT. The NT555R may also be your safest best in the rain, albeit not as good as a standard radial tire. BTW, IMO no tire is going to hook when it's cold outside unless you heat them up.

Wharf Rat Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 The 555R's fit your description pretty much perfectly. I ran them on my 2012 GT500 and 03 Cobra and will probably put them on my 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakshow12 Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 I have ran the 555r drag radials on all my cars. They hook and wear very well. Been caught in the rain on them and they worked ok. Only ones I will run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopsgt500 Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 I think I am going to try the Nitto NT05 (275/35zr20), the dimensions are close to the stock tires and it is a little softer (200 treadwear, compared to the F1 220 treadwear), so should have a little better hook up.

QUIKSVT Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 I'm running the NT05 in that size and really like them. I have them on an 11" rim and the car is lowered. I removed the bumpstop brackets and relocated the bump stops and I have no rubbing issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
