They are nitto nt05r's, size are 275-40-17. Cost about $100 bucks cheaper per tyre on ebay then mt et's lolso I take it your pretty impressed with the nt05r? what pressure were you running in them and how did they hook up, did they wanna spin at all? im looking at getting a set down the track maybe...

Thinking back now, I wish I gave it even more off the line, who knows, could of got into the 1.4 60ft which would be unreal for a radial street legal tyre.After I pulled up at the track and unloaded my gear, I dropped the pressures to 24psi and didnt look at it again. Even all my burn outs were piss weak, I only did em to dry the tyres.I never spun em up off the line so fiqured there was no point. The tyres still look like they have 100% tread left . My tuner (Keelan, the guy you see behind my car in the vid) has a bf 6 speed auto and has managed a 11.2 so far with mt ets radials.But after how well my car went, the fact his tyres are nearly shot and at about $100 bucks cheaper per tyre, he will be getting some NT05R's too.I am running them on the street all the time too, they hook up better then any other street legal tyre ive ever run. I wouldnt dare drive in the wet but lol, up here in darwin it wont rain for a good 4 months or so atleast .They sell them for 18's too.The guy selling them on ebay is "wheel_tech". $460 for the pair, before postage.

I hate the pump E85 compared to race E85 its no where near as sweet to smell lol, and the price of it at the pump atm I would rather just buy race E85.. when I went 10.66 I only went to about 3000rpm so we got alot more in the launch without the transbrake lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said in my first post, the record for the quickest et for a door slammer in aus was nearly broken last year on this track, so that's no doubt played a big part of how the car peformed.Go back 5 years, in the build up before the wet season, the darwin track was probly one of the worst track in aus.I would of probly runs mid to high 11's at best.Oh yeah, the fuel I run is "power plus fuels" E85. Its 116 ron, its really good sh*t 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
