Holy soft and sticky...

Just put new rubber on the back of the cobra today.
Nitto NT05R.
These are by far the softest tire I've ever own, even softer than the Mickey T's I had.

Has me wondering what their "road" life will be. :oogle:

If they work out, the plan is to put a set of non-R NT05 on the front some time next season. :3gears:

Im a huge fan of Nitto's tires & have always used 555's. But my next set will be the Nitto Invo. I've heard nothing but awsome reviews from other people as it delivers a balance of wet and dry performance as well as quietness and ride comfort. Just been getting such good deals on the 555's i couldn't pass up. Im not too familar with the NT05's although i was told by one of their reps that it's their most aggressive non-competition street tire which is based off of the Nitto NT01 race tire technology but designed specifically for maximum street performance. Now you may or may not be concerned with the tread wear because you prob saw its 200 rating but based off my limited knowledge i pretty sure your looking at closer reaching 10K on a set . You should be able to hit 5K easily granted you aren't peeling out & lighting up constantly. I'd like to know (later) how they've worked/ are working for you.

if you didnt notice, the tread wear rating on the nt05r is a 00 rating not a 200 rating. these will wear very fast!

I didn't hahaha.... my eyes skipped over that. It's the NT05's with the 200 rating. Yes... the R's are indeed a different story.

I just put Invo's on my ride three weeks ago. Love them! I haven't a chance to really put them to a test yet but they ride nice. :3gears:

Yes drag radial...

They are soft enough you can literally leave a fingerprint on the tread. Crazy.

I wish... replacing a set of baked Nitto Extreme II on the rear (from the auto-crossing and road coursing).
Next event is in Sturgis, 1/8th mile drags, more auto-crossing. Will get to see how well they handle traffic
cruising on the way out, and the twisties in the mountains.

Should be a good workout for them.
