Nitto Drags?

[Nachius]

If I were to drive with NT555Rs away from the track say mostly highway how long would they last?

[Camarorulz]

I don't know how long they would last, but if they don't last long, just get the nittos mounted on cheap rims, that way you can switch them out quickly and not have to worry about driving on them every day. This is what I'm going to do eventually.

Well I'm getting the nittos this week and I already have the cheap rims so they'll be mounted on them, but I wondered about just mounting them here and driving with them on there to AIS???

I wonder if I can even fit 4 rims and tires into my car to drive it there! [img]graemlins/crybaby.gif[/img]

They should last ~6-9k, but the problem with street driving them is you heat cycle them alot! Thus they will probably loose some of their stickiness. But IMHO they will still be better than street tires.

I saw 12,000+ miles and almost 2 years of drag racing on my 245 50 nitto drag radials.

I drove from jersey to vermont endless times.
I drove from jersey to maryland a couple times.
I drove back and forth from E town (45 miles) all the time.

Nitto's were my daily driver tire.

My bf's though are very rarely driven w/ back and forth to the track :( One is already frigin bald from about 4-5 days worth of track racing :(

Thanks for the info 12000 miles sounds good to me I haven't even driven my car 12000 miles since I've owned it ;)

I'll just put em on and drive to AIS [img]graemlins/evilgrin.gif[/img]

ive seen nittos last up to 20000 miles. it was all highway miles pretty much, fill them up with air to over what you would run street tires ~36 or so, these tires mentioned above were raced on but no big burnouts or anything

in conclusion they wil last if you dont treat them like crap

james said the R word, you just jinked yourself :( if the weather doesnt cooperate for ais what is the rescheduled date?

[img]graemlins/rofl.gif[/img] Ive never had a set of Street tires last more than 6k miles, i wonder what id do with driving drags every day

[SilverTAWS6]

Nittos last quite a while.
I always drove down to the track on them.
I've had them for over a year and they'd still be good if I didn't melt them flat on a private track rental (many VERY big burnouts and continous lapping). I never saw much wear at all from the street, just mainly from the track.
