Pics of NEW Nitto NT05's

[SmokinStang]

I just picked these up for the Porsche 911's Rears. They are Nitto's NT-05 Series. Size is 315/35ZR17

They are replacements for my older BF Goodrich. I didn't need the NT-05R, "R" versions for this setup.........as this will be all, so just right!!

Nitto NT05 - Tire Review

From the June, 2009 issue of Modified Mag

Size: 245/40R17 (f), 255/40R17 (r)
Type: Maximum-grip summer tire
UTQG: 200 AA A

Features:

»W speed rating safe up to sustained 168-mph use.

»Large reinforced and continuous shoulder tread blocks for corning rigidity and stability.

»Stiffer internal construction for added response, handling and high-speed capabilities.

»Symmetric, rotation-specific tread design.

»Low void shoulder tread blocks separated by minimal shallow grooving to reduce tread squirm.

»Wide solid center tread rib for better steering response and straight line stability.

»Chamfered tread block edges that reduce stress and heat risers to reduce chunking.

»Spiral wound cap ply for high-speed stability and carcass heat dissipation.

»Tread compounds were tested at three different racetracks, including the Nürburgring, to aid in the selection of the best performing compound for this segment.

»Testing focused on balancing dry han-dling performance with good wear life.

»Improved compounding with the addition of silica for increased wet grip as well as stiffer carbon black and polymer chains to strengthen tire.

»Extremely high upturn for added sidewall strength and stiffness.

Nitto is a good tire, my dad runs the nitto 555's on his gt and it hooks a lot better than the cooper zons or whatever they are called. And with the rear being a 10.5 it looks mean. When are you getting us some pics with them on the car???? They look good.

When I am I getting a ride in that 911 anyway?????????????
