I meant they were cheaper than the 555r. The regular 555's are cheaper. Now just deciding what size to go with

I found the NT-05 in 295/35/18 and 295/45/18. Not sure if i want the same tire size in back unless if i read correctly nittos run a little small on the the sidewall.

Only could find the Nt-555 in 295/45/18 and they are about 25 bucks cheaper.

Also found some Bf Goodrich g-force T/A KDW NT that are only a few dollars cheaper than the NT-05's.

I have the T/A KDW IIs and couldn't be happier (Make sure to get the IIs which is the 'New' tread pattern)

They hook well in the dry, and do fine in the rain. They only issue is they only come in 18" sizes for F-bodys (Which is a non-issue as you've already got 18s).

I run 275/18/35s with no issues.

From what I hear the nittos are better than any other DR for street driving. They dont wear as fast and are better in the rain.

Im really liking the nt05's the more i look at them. Now i just have to find the cheapest place to get them from.

I got 25k out of my 555R's on the Vette. Maddie just does alot of burnout's...LOL

I thought the NT-05's are a block design tread? That would mean they suck ass in the rain.

I have the 555Rs on the back now and I love them. Great traction on the street, at the track, and in the rain. I was told to expect about 15K miles of life, which is fine with me. The NT05s look pretty appealing, they have a 200 treadwear rating which puts them halfway between 555s and 555Rs, sounds like a good compromise. I might try them when I need new rears. I'd like to hear about their wet traction though.

NT-05's are actually really good in the rain

nittos run small on the tread width not sidewall.
