Spring Track Day Chit Chat

[Amsoil Guy]

Would a drag radial like the Nitto NT05R be ok for the Road Course?

[RedSN]

What's the difference between the NT05 and the NT05R?
I run the NT05 as my RC tires.


Edit: can find any info. But my gutt says the drag version of the NT05 is not going to like the corners too good.

[Amsoil Guy]

Oh right the sidewalls on the DR. Stupid question should have thought about it more.

[ZR]

Only dumb question is the one you don't ask.

[Ghost Rider]

different tire compound as well between the street and the R version

Ryan
if our wheels are interchangable we can swap wheels I would love to try the nt05r on the strip and give you my 285 hancooks
just sent reon the email. Who knows if the car will be out by then?

[Amsoil Guy]

Unfortunately Ford put a 5x135 on the Lightnings and that gen F150. I haven't gotten DR's yet I still don't know what DR's to get and what rims I want to go with.

[RedSN]

Too bad I didn't still have the F150. Had Lightning rims with 295 Nitto 555's.
Lol, an F150 shouldn't corner that hard, I scared a lot of passengers.

I have a bit of work ahead of me to complete in 4 months.
