Nitto Nt555r Drag Radials Tire Contact

Nitto Nt555r Drag Radials Stock Rear End
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.

Nitto Nt555r Drag Radials Race Track Time
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.
