Nitto Extreme Performance NT555R Drag Radial Tire - 275/40-20

• With the NT555R Extreme Drag, Nitto engineers succeeded in designing a DOT approved, drag racing radial tire that would outperform all other drag radials, provide impressive control and handling, and still deliver up to 15,000 miles of tread life of normal street-driving use.

• NT555Rs are manufactured with the original tread depth of 6/32nds and are constructed with a specially formulated soft racing tread compound to provide maximum traction. However, this soft and flexible tread will wear much quicker than tread compounds formulated for regular passenger cars. The Nitto NT555R is designed primarily for competition drag racing, but is also very popular and exceptional on road courses, track racing, and drifting.

Features:

• Directional tread design
• High block rigidity, soft compounding and large contact patch provide extreme dry traction in race conditions
• Two wide steel belts and two nylon cap plies stabilize tread for superior traction and handling
• Steel sidewall inserts provide control and stability during extreme lateral acceleration
• Spiral wound, jointless bead construction ensures high casing stability for superior control at high speed
• Low void ratio and large tread blocks optimize dry traction
