New Nitto Tire

[dboat]

Did any of you guys know that Nitto now has a street racing tire for our truck?

they have had that for a little while

the tire diameter is quite a bit different than the F1 (28.4") to the nitto, 26.3" (for the 305/35zr18) and it's the biggest they have. they'll look too small. great looking tire (like the drag radial), wish they had one our size.

If the truck is lowered it looks better. I think the F1 is too tall, looks funny.

Here's their other one that is relatively new for road racing :

Put a pair of 555R's on rear of my L last week and they made a lot of difference!

How much difference? the site says they will last for 15k miles.. everyone else says 5k miles..

I'm running 18-20lbs of air for now and they stick real well. Research says this is the best tire pressure to keep from wearing out the middle of the tire!

I believe the end results on mileage will be determined by the individual driver and driving habits...number of trips to the track, etc!!!:twitch:
