Small little bump to give my impression of drag racing the Z with Nitto NT05r.
First off, I was getting major wheel hop with poly rear diff mounts and street tires (S04). I don't get wheel hop with the drat radials at all. This is a big plus!
They drive on regular everyday road great. I don't drive then on wet/rainy day so I can't comment on that. I would think it would fish tail a lot!
These tires are defiantly sticker than regular street summer tires. They get decently sticky after you warm them up but I think there are better tires out there. For $500 a pair of 305/35 (or 30)/ 18'' its a steal of a deal tire and performance wise.
After I wear these tires out, I think I will get a set of MT Streets. I think they might be stickier and give better 60'.
Horrid track prep at the 1/8 last night. I could not muster anything better than a 2.19 60' with most of them 2.4x. I was trapping 90/91mph in the 1/8 so at least I was picking up some speed at the back end.
