I always get a thumbs down - it doesn't bother me at all. A vote is a vote - helps the video. Thank you for the support! Glad this was somewhat helpful.

yah these seem to be popular options - hope it helps some down the road

I hear they're solid tires - let me know how that 392 does with them on

The NT05r is a solid option - esp if you're going Street/Strip. I liked having them on the street

@@RTLife our strip is still closed so im all street for the time being unfortunately.

Learning as I go. I appreciate the support!

Both are pretty solid options

hahaha I bet every acceleration turns into a burnout! I would get 315's on that beast

@@RTLife its got a 3.73 LSD so in short, yes. Lol

yah when you have that kind of power, that is a solid 1/2 combo. On the streets you need those nittos for any kind of traction

I think that is a wise choice - the ET Street R will be able to handle your power a little better

Thank you - glad this was helpful in some light. Let me know what you of the new rim/tire setup when it's all on the SRT.

@@RTLife Hey man, I finally got them on a couple of months ago and love em. I went with racestar darkstars and are perfect together with the Mickey's, they also 17s reduced the wt close to 100 lbs. I got one of those z-automotive electronic line lock burnboxes for it, and is great for heating up those 305s and are awesome tires

You will really enjoy the extra traction the ET Street R provides - it's a solid option

yah that seems like the best combo - both great tires.

That's a great price - let me know how you like them

Never used full bia ply - big difference from the ET Streets?

@@RTLife So real bias ply tires have no side walls or steel radial belts. They are by definition squishy. When I run them I run at 15.00 PSI and on launch with the Hellcat they take the hit and act like a spring instead of spinning. Totally recommend with forced induction.

Gotcha - the ET streets def have that super soft compound. I’m not at the power level yet to run into any issues with either. Maybe one day

@@RTLife once you go forced air, you'll be there! If you go turbo, the nto5r still might be ok since they don't usually hit as hard and boost can be ramped in. If you go supercharged, you'll want the mickey since it will hit like a ton of bricks

Truth

What’s your thought on the NT555R2

@@youtubewatchmen8318 about the same as the NTO5R probably. A little better that the OG 555R

ET Streets on that 1320 & you will be gripping/ripping

That cuda sounds like a beast man - what kind of 1/4 mile time?

@@RTLife I know I'll get pretty deep into the 11's with my simple build. I may make it into the 10's if I'm willing to sacrifice driveability on the street, check out Simpsons Speed Shop, he has a nice build. Solid Flat Tappet cam Lunati 30200740, Advertised Duration (Int/Exh): 264/272 ;Duration @ .050 (Int/Exh): 235/243 ;Gross Valve Lift (Int/Exh): .525/.546 ;LSA/ICL: 110/106 ;Valve Lash (Int/Exh): .016/.016 ;RPM Range: 2400-6600. With this cam, I could probably get away with a torque converter in the neighborhood of 3,000. Plans call for some really light weight valve train components, The tool steel (reusable) lifters weigh in at 90 grams, but there are some significantly lighter 78 gram lifters which I am leaning towards. 1.5:1 adjustable ductile iron rockers instead of roller tip rockers. I am looking at reducing the number of moving parts, and the idea of a roller tip rocker losing its bearings is most unappealing. I have the new internal balanced SCAT crank sitting next to me as I type. (the Chrysler LA 360 was built as an external balance engine ) Forged I-beam connecting rods, rather than H beam (H-beams generally weigh a bit more and as a *general rule* are a tad bit better for strokers like your build). Pistons KB-107 Hypereutectics, going with them over forged because well, the solid cam will make enough noise, don't need the piston slap when the engine's cold on top of that. Heads are either the TrickFlow 190's, or the ProMAXX Shocker 185's. I have heard good things about both sets of heads over on forabodiesonly.com and the above cam is not pushing the ProMAXX to it's limit, so right now, the TrickFlows are just more than I need, and significantly more expensive. Intakes are going to be tested, Offenhauser single plane dual quad, Edelbrock dual plane dual quad, and there's the RPM AirGap, which I suspect will probably outperform both of the dual quads, but I do need to stick with some old school stuff for the eye candy. Fuel delivered by a pair of Eddy AVS2 500cfm carbs. Exhaust is a set of Doug's D453 going through a 2.5 Summit cheapy exhaust and an H-pipe. I have read from various sources that H-pipes will deliver a fraction of a percent more torque, and the X-pipes a fraction more horsepower, the difference is negligible. I've been thinking on electric cutouts, although I doubt that I will get any performance increase. My math (if I got it right) on my scavenging is about as good as I can get, whether it goes out the tailpipes or the cutouts is kinda immaterial Trans is a standard a727 with a Transgo TF2 shift kit and the rear end is a Strange S-60 with 4.10 and Eaton tru-trac, since I do drive this on the road. Biggest tires I can fit without cutting the car are 255's. I suppose if I were to give it the classic muscle car stinkbug stance I might be able to fit some 275's. But, that would screw up the geometry. Rear seats weigh about 80 lbs, they get to stay in the shed. I can drop about 100 lbs off the front of the car with a fiberglass front clip. I could personally afford to lose 30 lbs. And, as long as I stay in the 11's, I don't need a cage. edit: Oh yeah I forgot to mention, Sears Point/Infineon/Sonoma Raceway is about 15 minutes from my work. heh

(The nitto nt 555 G2) are they doing good on snow ?

Facts

Having run the NT05R at 315/35r20 and the MT ET Street S/S at 305/35r20 at the drag strip I can say the MTs are definitely better in my opinion. I'm assuming that would translate to the street as well but my street use was limited to driving from the house to the drag strip and back. I would say from one of my experiences on the way to the strip if the road has any bit of gravel or debris on it if you don't do a burnout to clean the tires off they are practically like being on skates. I made the mistake of assuming since they were DRs I could just stab it at a light and everything would be golden but no I ended up almost sideways.

I like M&H Racemasters drag radials over the Nitto NT05s and the Mickey Thompson ET Street R. The M&H Racemasters provide good grip. In addition, the M&H Racemasters are better in the rain if you get caught in it on the way home from the dragstrip. Mickey Thompsons are good at the dragstrip. However, the compound is very soft and they wear out quickly even for a drag radial. If I had to pick between the Nittos and Mickey Thompsons, I would take the former.

R/T Life I’m running the Mickey Thompson Street SS and they hook!

Hoosier bias ply.

Yah I've heard a lot of positive reviews on those tires. The price is a solid to

I don't have any experience with Hoosier but it seems like a solid option. Many high hp drag racers choose them. I saw your last N/A drag strip day, 12 sec 1/4 mile times - looks like the gearing helped

dude those prices are so high! I was checking them out - great reviews though

R888R are an awesome tire. No worries when the occasional corner comes up either.

I have heard reviews - many that have them, love them. Would be cool to review NT555r

they are nice looking tires

I haven't but there is possibly a day coming up. Private track rental

yah at your power level the MT is def the way to go

I might try the toyo drag tires - they’re $440 a radial but I hear it’s well worth it.

The new NT555RII is better for us in straight line, they directly claim faster than a NT05r...doesn't have the noise of R888R or expensive and they are available in the sizes we use like 305 45 17s...$246

Try to lose weight more to get better

def some nice tires

Here Kitty Kitty, lol

I bet this comment didn’t age well 🤔 How long did it take you to finally get a set of Mickeys?! lol

I went staggered - love it! Let me know how it turns out for you

Check out the street r

@@simplybuilt_1708 It’s an option

exactly - I don't believe my RT will ever overpower the rim/tire setup

Agreed - the extra side wall def makes a difference

I have to look into them

Thanks

I might have to give those a chance once the Mickeys are done. The reviews are great

Damn - not bad at all! I’ve heard solid reviews for those Atturos

😉

hahaha that makes 2 of us! Would make all of this so much easier

they're expensive but the reviews are awesome

Those are not drag tires they are more corner carving type tires and may not do that good on a 7k lbs truck. They can hook big power pretty good for what they are if you wanna hook from a roll and still have good handling I would suggest just going with a drag radial.

it shouldn't

@@RTLife i contacted factory reproductions who makes a 20 X 11" wheel for the rear and they say it holds 315 tire no rubbing.

@@Therealhomeinspectionauthority demon runs 315s 18 inch rim but same width

Yup! They're a solid tire option - I really enjoyed having them in back

My 305/35 r19 nto5r don't hook for shit on my 500whp c6 corvette

I wish less burnouts happened hahaha - probably could have answered that better

You will be lucky to get 5k miles on them

Likely 11.8 to 12.2 range at this point

Cool

At this point super low 12's - maybe with the right D/A & prep high 11's

if you're only concern is racing with the Mickey ET Street R

damn you must be making some nice power! The Mickey's are the way to go for drag racing - they provided great traction (at least with my power levels).

R/T Life last time on the Dyno I was 620whp , car has gone 10.86 at 125mph and still on stock untouched 392 , 2021 shooting for a 10.00 pass out the gate

@@widebody_moparmike that trap speed its pretty low for 620 rwhp my c6 put down 512 rwhp and traps around 129 but can hook for shit

@@mattd19902010 A8 with a 3.09 gear and running those 17s made the affective ratio 3.14 , compared to your vette it’s apples to oranges

No not yet - will grab one once my RT has a forced air setup in place

@@RTLife Look at the Per4mance DIRS setup. I use that one and its very well made.

The Magnum was brought back at the same time as the Hemi & had them under the hood.

yah I've heard really good reviews on them - radial compound but can handle poor weather

Depending on how much HP. I had the Nitto NT05R and loved them but still spun even with 16psi. Just bought the Mackey only because NT05R are super back order. Well see how mickey tires perform

I would imagine the NT555r would be the best option in your case. www.nittotire.com/competition-tires/nt555r-dot-compliant-competition-drag-radial-tire/

@@RTLife : Thank you ! I'll look into these. Here in south FL we get about 58" of rain per year so that is an big issue when you get caught in a rain storm. My Scat Pack is dangerous enough as it it is traction wise. New wheels and tires coming soon.If it hadn't been for that cement filled post I would have gone thru that dry cleaners front window !

Everyone keeps talking about the Toyo R88R - they're expensive but the reviews are impressive

hahaha - man that sucks! The G2's are terrible for straight line

R/T Life o yeah man! 🤦🏻‍♂️ 🤦🏻‍♂️ 🤬🤯 after paying $1,100 bucks and leaving. And then looking at the tires couple days later. I realized WTF. Why do my 555 tires look different. Did some google research and found out that they sold me and installed some dam ALL summer season Nittos. I said MFER. Never again never again

I have them - going to test them out soon

my guess is they're similar to NT05r but we will see.

Agreed. I learned that after giving them a try

The g2’s are ass! I have them in a 295 40 and I spin on 40 rolls

@@2141mario i could spin 275 20s in those tires on a bolt on 07 gt500 (550 rwhp 4.10 gear) into 3rd gear. I don't mean turning them over i mean spinning 2nd and short shifting 3rd and drifting sideways up the street through 3rd. Now with 305/45/17 et street r it will dead hook 2nd from 40 and when they were newer and it was warm outside they would dead hook 1st and only spin em over a little on a hard 1 to 2 powershift. I have 6500+ street miles on them majority of the tread they had is gone but they still hook pretty damn good. Very solid tires im def getting them again I love being able to do 1st gear pulls and really break peoples necks lol. Going with a larger 315/50 this time

I've heard great things - Almost $450 a tire, damn! hahaha. I should give them a shot

@@RTLife if you spinning you ain't winning buddy, these tires have been proven to be the best sticking tires out there, if you want to be the best you have to pick the right upgrades, when it comes to tires, there is no match to R888Rs on the car with less than 1000hp. Let me tell you this, all the 720s running them and killing 1/4 mile times on the street or the strip. Toyo R888R is the way to go if you want to see your car to go from good to great when it comes to putting power down

When you UGR Lambo is running these tires on their Lambo and R8s with 2000hp to the wheels, you got to realize that this tires has the right compound to handle what you are looking for to do.

They're fine for awd cars, turbo cars where power comes on more gradually and for cars that have good traction management. When I got my hellcat modded, I tried the nto5r, r888r with ZERO success. Got the Mickey's and I'll never look back. I cringe at the money wasted on the nitto and the Toyo. Sold both sets and recouped some money but still..

I have to give them a try. After the G2 wears out I'm going to give another all season performance tire a try

yah I've heard the Toyo Proxes are a solid option

Yeah they great for mid to high whp

@@vondrelleraven4380 they do good at hooking rolls and handling but they are NOT drag tires they are more for corners and have stiffer sidewalls. Idk why everyone groups them in with mickeys when talking tires. Like I said they can hook some power decent on rolls and do good at handling but they are not an ideal tire for drag racing.
