NT01

The NT01 is a D.O.T-compliant dry competition radial designed with the weekend road racer in mind. The compound was developed to provide the best balance of traction, consistency, heat cycle performance and longevity. The sidewall construction is optimized for sharp steering response, accurate feedback and increased driver confidence. For those that demand maximum dry performance, the NT01 can be shaved from 6/32 of an inch down to 3/32 of an inch to reveal a slick with two circumferential grooves. The NT01 delivers fast and consistent lap times for both the professional road-racer and the track-day enthusiast.

Steel reinforced sidewall offered in select sizes. The NT01 is recommended for dry competition use.
    Handling
    • Large semi-continuous shoulder blocks maximize the contact patch for braking and cornering
    • Hard bead filler ensures excellent steering feedback, response, and turn-in
    Traction
    • The road race compound balances traction, consistency, heat cycle performance, heat resistance and longevity
    • New overall construction provides a stable contact patch for superior lateral and longitudinal traction
    Stability
    • Two wide steel belts and a spiral-wound nylon cap ply ensure stability under braking, acceleration and cornering
    • High modulus rayon carcass, steel-reinforced sidewall construction and the latest body ply construction combine to increase thermal stability at high speeds
    Pre-Rece Facts
    • Optimum operating temperature: 160°F – 220°
    • Race slick: Shave down to 3/32 of an inch for maximum dry traction performance

NT555R

The NT555R is a D.O.T.-compliant competition drag radial designed with maximum flexibility for the weekend drag racer. The NT555R combines a high grip compound and semi-racing construction to provide maximum traction at the starting line. The tire comes molded at 6/32 of an inch and features a unique reinforced belt package to provide improved traction and high-speed stability. The NT555R is the perfect performance radial for the street or strip.

The NT555R is recommended for dry competition use.
    Dry Traction
    • Racing tread pattern based on the already-potent NT555 ensures maximum contact patch at the drag strip
    • Circumferential and lateral grooves combine to evacuate water under wet conditions
    • High-block rigidity ensures stable contact patch under hard launches
    • Race compound engineered for the demands of the drag strip
    • Unique overall and sidewall construction maximizes traction during hard launches

NT555RII

The NT555RII is a D.O.T.-compliant competition radial designed with the muscle car racer in mind. Using the same computer-designed tread pattern as the 555R, the 555RII has been thoroughly updated to handle the task of road racing. Construction modifications were made to improve cornering feedback, controllability and stability. The tire comes molded at 6/32 of an inch to reduce tread flex.

Invo™

Flagship Ultra High-Performance Radial

The Invo – tread technology without compromise. To meet the demands of the most refined automotive connoisseurs, we compromised nothing in performance or ride refinement to create an exclusive driving experience. Using state-of-the-art computer simulation programs and digital audio testing equipment, we designed a tread pattern that dampens perceived road noise, provides excellent ride comfort, and delivers thrilling handling in both dry and wet conditions. The result – a tread pattern that is unique and functional.
    Performance and Design
    • Computer-designed, asymmetrical, non-directional tread pattern
    • Twin water dispersion grooves provide superb wet handling
    • Three-dimensional siping reduces irregular tread wear and provides extra traction in the wet
    • Silica-reinforced tread compound reduces tread flex for improved acceleration, handling and braking
    • Continuous inner rib and three-dimensional tread blocks provide stability and traction under braking and acceleration
    • The outer shoulder maximizes contact patch for exhilarating dry traction and steering feedback
    • The inner shoulder maximizes contact patch for outstanding braking performance and stability
    Sound and Emotion
    • Variable pitch block across the tread surface minimizes unwanted pattern noise
    • Latest construction technology offers a refined ride without sacrificing handling and durability

Neo Gen®

All-Season Ultra High-Performance Radial

The Neo Gen is the next evolution of Nitto’s all-season ultra high-performance radial, especially designed for lowered vehicles. The tire features interlocking inner shoulder blocks and rigid three-dimensional sipes to minimize tread flex. This decreases irregular wear and provides improved tread life on lowered vehicles with negative camber. The asymmetrical tread pattern incorporates our innovative slanted, three-dimensional tread blocks, which ensure a large, stable contact patch under all wet and dry driving conditions.
    Steering Response and Traction
    • All-season performance
    • “V” and “Z” performance rated
    • Three-dimensional tread blocks provide stable contact patch while accelerating, braking and cornering
    • Three-dimensional sipes increase traction in the wet while maintaining tread block rigidity
    • Continuous center locking inner shoulder improves tire wear on lowered vehicles with negative camber
    • Large outer-shoulder tread blocks improve turn-in and maximize the contact patch under cornering
    • Deep circumferential grooves work in unison with the slanted three-dimensional tread blocks to evacuate water quickly for superb wet performance

 

NT05

The NT05 is a maximum performance tire that was developed using advanced computer simulation and extensive on-track testing. These development methods along with a rigorous quality standards helped produce a street tire that provides precise and responsive handling and performance.

 

NT450

The NT450 is Nitto's entry-level ultra high-performance radial designed for all-season performance. The unidirectional tread design performs exceptionally well in wet weather by evacuating water through the slanted grooves and lateral slits.
