Default Nitto nto5r drag radials are amazing!!

Posting this for the the whole country rather than just the WCCC.

I dropped a full second off the E.T. at the strip, 12.9 to 11.9 and posted a 1.6 60ft time and didn't really get into it because I was trying to keep my half shaft in one piece.

I just ripped away from a new Z06 at a stop on the street, when the driver caught me at the next light the driver couldn't believe I could explode out of the hole on regular road like I did, it wasn't even close. He was really mad when I told him it wasn't even a 427, just a "little" 392 stroker.

When the tires are at full pressure, they seem to handle aggressive turns as well as my Goodyear Eagle F1's. I am sure they wont last as long with a zero tread wear rating, but man - I can't get enough of these things, I'm blown away. Try them, let me know what you think - just not in the rain!
