Discount Tire $229....took one day to me from Nevada.

 

I picked mine up 2 weeks ago and paid $219 for them and one of my friends called the same day as I did to a different discount tire and he only paid $165 for them!I called that place he ordered them from the next day and they said those tires jumped up to $229 already probably because they sold out of those tires so quickly.I was told the next batch they get in will be in february.

NICE!!! Now can we get a report on how well these tires hook up on the street? I wonder if there will be a noticable traction difference over the F-1's?

 

Yes, you Nittro users, please give us a report vs. the F-1's

 

What size are they?

 

I am not putting my nittos on still spring but have been running the 17 inch nitto 315 drag radial for a few months now and on the street if you heat the f1's up a little they still spin alot and if you heat the nitto's up a little you get a chirp and your gone!The key is getting some heat to them right before you takeoff and they will work just fine for the street.When using my g-tech from 0-60 the best i have ran on street tires is 4.46 to a 4.07 with my drag radials so there is improvement at least on my truck. At the track I saw about 1 tenth improvement on average with them.

Cal, what kind of pressure are you running on the street? Do you lower it at the track?

 

so you are saying that only at the track they are better only for a .1 on ave over the f1. But they are **** to the slicks?

 

What are the exact specs on the d/radial. How much taller are they than the F-1's and is it noticible? Thanks!!

 

Where did you get them www.???? phone ###
What are the specs. all the nitto;s sales pips I called they did not even hear of dr ones. Are you pulling our diks?> Bc that would not be funny at all, I have been waiting for them for to long.

they only have 265 60 18's

NT 555R Drag Radial

I believe they are within 1/4" of stock F1 diameter. Not enough to matter.

I have no idea about air pressure at the track cuz I just got them. That is why they aren't on rims. Raining today so I cant give you an opinion yet. I intend to use them on the street because I use Hoosiers on 15" at the strip.

 

Well, I am running 28 psi in mine on the street, I don't know whether I should be running higher or not. And Caka, they are not taller than the F1s. According to my admittedly crude measurement they are 1/4" shorter, possibly because the tread depth is 6/32" as opposed to 8/32" on the F1s. Lets see, since the 45 is a percentage of the width, and 305 is 10mm more than 285, and 10mm is 0.394", 45% of 0.394 is 0.1773", which, assuming equal tread depth is how much taller the 555s should be. But since 8/32-6/32x2 = 1/8" or 0.125', the Nittos should be roughly 0.05" taller than the F1s, or almost within manufacturing tolerances. Why I measure them shorter, I don't know, maybe I am just a lousy measurer, but I know there is not a hell of a lot of difference between them.

 

Calightnin,

How much? Where can I get them? What size? THANKS IN ADVANCE

 

Without looking @ tread depth . . .

295/45-18 = 28.45" tall (Stock)
305/45-18 = 28.81" tall

 

Incon306.......Good looking attachment you've got there. I'll give you a set of Nitto's for a date with her.
