The Nitto NT05R is a summer tire designed specifically for racing vehicles. It is approved by the Department of Transportation for use on public streets. This tire is intended to be mounted on the rear axle of the vehicle. The NT05R offers outstanding traction at high speeds. Its racing-inspired R-compound prevents the build-up of heat, ensuring optimal performance throughout the race. The tire's sticky compound provides reliable traction at all times. The tread design of the NT05R is semi-slick, maximizing the contact area with the road surface. This improves grip and enhances control while driving. The wider and smoother center tread area increases contact with the road, offering better acceleration at the beginning of each lap. Additionally, the tread design improves steering responsiveness, allowing the driver to have precise control over the vehicle. This enhanced handling ensures full control for the entire duration of the race. To further enhance its high-speed performance, the NT05R features a reinforced sidewall construction. This construction maintains the tire's shape under the pressure exerted on it during high-speed driving. As a result, the tire remains stable and performs at its best throughout the race.
