Nitto's New NT555R Drag Radial - Sticky Donuts

Here you see that all 12 inches of the Nittos are making contact with the ground. As the car rolled by, you could hear the difference from the stock tires. It sounded much like trying to peel two pieces of duct tape off one another.

The 5,150-pound SSR managed a 2.084 60-foot and 13.090 e.t. at 111.70 mph on the drag radials. Not only did the Nittos improve the 60-foot time, but they also provided much-needed traction down the quarter-mile.

The Trailblazer is where the NT555Rs really showed their abilities, dropping 60-foot times into the 1.6s. You can't ask for much more out of a 4,700-pound truck with a stock rear-end.

At the end of the day, the weekend drag racer can drive to and from the track (in the rain if need be), and lay down some serious times in the process. Molded at 6/32 of an inch, the NT555R features a unique reinforced belt package, high block rigidity, and a unique sidewall construction allowing for miles and miles of highway usage and unmatched grip on the back streets or at the track.
