Recently had to take my Nitto NT05R drag radials off my car due to colder weather. They look to be almost toast and I didn't even get 500 miles out of them.
Let's say you actually get 4 passes almost everytime you go. Occasionally only 3. Now you said your looking at 20 miles each way that's a 40 mile round trip. That's gonna be roughly 450-500 miles right there driving back and forth just to the track. and then add in 43 burnouts and 43 passes, plus all the little trips and hard acceleration and pulls we all do when we are out driving around. Sounds like the tires held up pretty good to me and I'd say you got your money's worth
Well as I mentioned it was a bit of click bait. However I have heard of plenty of guys that use DRs on the street only and get 3-4k miles out of them. I just thought it was funny that after I counted how many passes I made on them that I realistically got about 200 miles out of them one 1/4 mile at a time. For the next round I'm actually going to be trying a new brand drag radial with new wheels as well. Should be here sometime tomorrow.
Daily driven hard on my 2000lb lighter c5z.... the tires have hardly even wore after 6 months and 1k miles. I'm rather pleased with my nt05s, especially in the rain for a summer tire
Bro youre complaining about 500miles but you have a table full of around 50 passes with a burn out before each its gonna wear the tires down alot faster than driving on the street.
Yes this entire video was meant to be sarcasm. However this season I did got with Mickey Thompson ET Street S/S instead of another set of NT05Rs and I think the MTs perform better overall.
Well the car is stock power and the DRs are 20s not 17s like most people run on Hellcats. With that being said I did change the second year to MT ET Street S/S (still 20s) and my overall best time is 10.87 again stock power Hellcat.
Agreed. When you add in the cost of the second set of wheels it was actually about $1300 total. I see I already got a dislike so the clickbait must have worked. All in all though I do think they were decent I mean I don't really think anyone buys DRs expecting to get a ton of miles out of them unless they are only using them on the street.
you are crazy man, i never seen drag radials last that long, simple tires lasts around 100 passes with burnout, you paid for the traction and you got good times in 1/4.
@@raimondhyperburia3855 My best time with the Nittos was an 11.13 best with the MT was 10.87. of course some of that could have been more experience on my part but they felt like the hooked better off the line.
Yea the whole point of the video was some sarcasm and a little click baiting and it seems to have worked considering the dislikes outweigh the likes. I have heard of plenty of guys getting 5-10k on them if it is street only.
You must do some knarly burnouts, I easily get 225 laps out of a pair including burnouts. Thats around 35-40 events with a 40 mile round trip to the track. At that point there is still tread but they dont stick anymore!!
Yea I am pretty heavy on the burnouts before each pass. I ran MT ET Street S/S this year and did about 32 passes and they look about the same as the Nittos the main rain channels are just about gone.
Yea it was a lot of fun was hoping to get in one more day on the Saturday after Thanksgiving but the weather looks like its going to be shitty now. By the way I love your video on the custom exhaust tips. I have been seriously considering doing something like that on mine to do the Go Mango lip. Of course since I'm not sure if I'm going to like it I'm a little reluctant to try it with actual paint. Thinking about maybe using some SuperVinyl or Plastidip just to see if I like the look first. not sure how they would hold up to the heat or carbon build up though plus my tips were ceramic coated when the car was done so not even sure if they would even "stick" right.
Honestly I think there is still probably at least a dozen or so passes still on them but I certainly wouldn't be using them on the street except back and forth from the track.
@@woodboat3G The price I mentioned in the video was just the tires. The NT05Rs are like $350-$375 per tire depending on where you get them and the Hellcat replica wheels were $210 a piece so all in the drag setup was like $1200 for the setup. Of course my new setup that is sitting in the garage waiting for a video turned out to be just about the same.

3 or 4? I do about 15 passes each time I go to the drag strip.
Great video! Thank you! very useful information! In Russia, such bald remains are sold for $100 a pair. Greetings from Russia👋
Dam stop holding your nose while you are talking.
Soft compound tyres will always wear quickly when used daily.
Why
@@joshgarza6284 low thread wear.
How long did you expect them to last? What are the replacements going to be the 555r's maybe. Thanks for the info👍

Mine lasted like 5 months almost , daily driven , a lot of passes at the strip , racing in the street & roll racing

Your first drag radials right?
Yes they were. This year I'm running the MT Street S/S like them better.
Do they hook good?
Obviously some of the dumbshit watchers don't realize you "complaint" is tongue in cheak.
500 miles but almost 50 drag passes each with a burnout that woupd have got you an extra 10,000 miles on the street. Calm down
43 passes at the track 🤣 they're worn out... I daily them on a 800whp car hard and easily get 4k miles out of them.
Lol Funny !! Maybe shouldn't do so many burnouts! I got buddies with same tires with over 2000 miles on them! Maybe it how your driving Not the tires
Yea that was complete sarcasm definitely burn out related I'm sure if I was using them just on the street would have gotten a lot more miles.
I’ve had my nt05rs on my cobra for about 7000 miles. Few passes and daily driven. Just about to go bald though
The fact that ur only running 11s in a hellcat leads me to believe these tires suck
Well the car is stock power and the DRs are 20s not 17s like most people run on Hellcats. With that being said I did change the second year to MT ET Street S/S (still 20s) and my overall best time is 10.87 again stock power Hellcat.
That’s an expensive 500 miles! Haha

555s I have heard lasted much longer. But do not stick like your setup
VinceAlinceAble SRT nt555r seem to be really good because they last a lot longer and still hook up even on hellcats
Where are you located in MD?
250🤣🤣one more burnout and they're done...they're already on the wear indicators
so you did , there treadwear is 100, You Did Good , What Were You Looking For ? Mileage No Way
you are crazy man, i never seen drag radials last that long, simple tires lasts around 100 passes with burnout, you paid for the traction and you got good times in 1/4.
Dude it was sarcasm. Although I will say I got better times with Mickey Thompson ET Street S/S
@@coolwrld302 strange, some ppl said that mt is worse even some dude made video with high hp car, toya vs mt vs nt. Mt was worst
@@raimondhyperburia3855 My best time with the Nittos was an 11.13 best with the MT was 10.87. of course some of that could have been more experience on my part but they felt like the hooked better off the line.
@@coolwrld302 thanks.
I’m well over 7,000 miles on mine. I beat the shit out of them but only on the street. Only one track pass
Yea the whole point of the video was some sarcasm and a little click baiting and it seems to have worked considering the dislikes outweigh the likes. I have heard of plenty of guys getting 5-10k on them if it is street only.
They arent toast til they pop

@@coolwrld302 Burnouts are 1/2 the fun!!!!
43 runs is a lot of fun. Like #2

Tires are Toast
Another slug hellcat/demon/bumblebee that can't even do a mid 10 in cool weather. And with NT05's besides? My Z06 loves to take their money.
You can flip flop these tires
250-300 bucks for that garbage??? Wtf
glad I didn't buy them from you LOL
Honestly I think there is still probably at least a dozen or so passes still on them but I certainly wouldn't be using them on the street except back and forth from the track.
Alright Mr. "used car salesman" I am not buying them LOL
300 for tires and wheels?
