NT05r drag radials I have run. They are great tires, handle well, very stable, quiet and grip good.

Ive stated in another thread,that with these tires and correct air pressure that after 80 mph or more my car sways alot even with the slightest turn.Going down the 1/4 mile im fine,but on the highways they have scared me more than once,and im not easily scared.The back of the car feels like it just drifts around after 80.I have heard of other performance tires doing these.

Any feedback about being on a dyno with these tires?

No feed back about these on a dyno. At the track they sixty well. 1.6-1.7 and are stable up to 130 when I let out of it.

all drag radial tires are going to suck on the hwy
the sidewalls are not stiff like summer tires

If your a balla get 4 rear rims and run the NT05 for the cruises on one pair
NT05S for the drags

Straight line digs thats what their for.

in my case id run them daily at high speeds all day, now what the cops may say is going to be a issue lol.

Make sure they are aired up for the dyno. I've run these on the street with no issues and on the dyno. In the rain they are very sketchy.

NT05R and rain not the best thing in the world.

They last more than they hook

Run the NT01s like I am. Still have the great grip and has stronger sidewall for autocross. These tires are sticky. If ya like handling and sticky stick with these tires. I am stuck on them.

I have NT05Rs and DD with them no problems at all. I had my car on the dyno a few weeks ago too. For the dyno I had the pressure at 35psi. Normally for DD I keep the pressure around 28psi. On the dyno with a 4th gear pull, it was up to around 156mph.
