Drag Radial

[Lextreme II]

I have used Nitto 555R in the past. Mainly the 315 size. I am currently looking for possible 305 (18"). There two new lines available for the competition series. Anyone have experience with Nitto 555RII and NT01? Looks like 305 wide would be my choice for 10.5" rims.

We have used the Mickey Thompsons only, as they seem to be the best on the track, and we are very happy with them on the street (1200hp 68 Firebird) and also on a Fairmont Ghia (Crown Vic sized car) with 15" and 17" rims.
They seem to be the tyre of choice with street radial race guys.... so we don't bother importing anything else, so can't compare.

Yeah, Mickey Thompsons are the best tires of choice. Nitto is ok, but still not as good as Mickey.
