18" Nitto users....opinions please

Just wondering how the 18/305 nittos are working. What kind of 60'fts are you guys seeing (compared to what you were seeing w/ the Stock F1's). Also....where did you find them? I know Discount Tires carries them, but there isn't one nearby.

Unhappy

I don't believe they are available yet, but I will go by my local dealer today and check it out. I plan to get some as soon as they are available; maybe I can preorder a pair.

If you are talking about the 305-55-18 NT404 Extreme Force, they have been available for some time and are great for the street. They will really fill up that wheel well for you. They are not, however, for the track because they are of a harder rubber than even the F1's.

The Drag radials (they come in a 305?) are not yet available to the public as of last week.

No...I was referring to the Nitto 555 DR's. I thought I read on here a while back that a few guys were running them. I must've misunderstood.

I had read in a prior post that the 555R's would not be available until around the 15th, but I called my local dealer today and he in turn called Nitto and verified that they are available NOW. I will have to go by there tomorrow and order a pair.

Outstanding!! Be sure to let us know some first impressions once you get them mounted. Of course I'll expect track data soon after!
