Nitto Tire announces the release of its all-new D.O.T.-compliant competition drag radial, the NT05R. The NT05R is Nitto’s most aggressive drag radial designed for serious drag racing enthusiasts.

Nitto’s top priority during the development of the tire was to maximize traction. To achieve this, Nitto engineered an all-new specialized race compound and a large contact patch. The dual-purpose sidewall construction is enhanced for traction during launch as well as straight-line stability at the top-end. The NT05R showed improved consistency and controllability throughout the entire pass when compared to the NT555R.
