I'm very interested as well. For drag racing I run the Mickey Thompson drag radials in 305 35/19 on the standard 19s. On the street I still have my original PS2s on the optional 20s and like you, I'm trying to find the best tire for grip on the street and track.

I know its not a 1 for 1 but I put 315/40/18 NT05R on my GTR and it was on its daily map making 880whp and it just DEAD hooks
SOOOO CONFIDENT IN THE HOOK vs. my R888s [20''] I really enjoy the tires, if its the NT05R I would definitely give them a try. |

Yeah we just stuck a 1095whp map on it and its hooking all the same and I actually have 315/45/18 lol I was looking at them yesterday.
But they really are confidence inspiring. Even though I know you guys cant run 18's with the Brembos, I think they're great tires. |

I've run the MT 305 30/20 on my stock wheels. No rubbing issues and they really hook. You can turn all traction control off and just floor it off the line. 1.75 60' was the result.
There was an issue though. I believe because the tire is taller than stock it confuses the traction/stability control systems. The reason is that as soon as I drive off with stock front PSS and the MTs on the rear, the car exhibits a strange slight hesitation on part throttle acceleration. This is very evident on the freeway accelerating from say, 50-70 mph. However, full throttle doesn't have any hesitation and the drag runs always hooked off the line (not bogging) and felt very strong through the run. My best was 11.53 @ 122mph. I switched to the 305 30/19 to get the diameter closer to stock. Still exhibits some slight part throttle hesitation but not as bad as before. I have yet to improve on the 11:53. Morale of the story, if you are looking for the best drag tire, I recommend the Mickey Thompson over the Nitto and all others. What I need now is the best road course street/track tire and I'm leaning towards Micheline SC2s. |

I've seen comparisons where the NT05 and MT ET II are very close. So close that if I were looking to buy Drag radials today, I'd buy the Nitto or the MT based in which manufacturer has the size I want/need. If you can get the NT05R in 305/30/20, that's ideal.
