Unique auto sports are selling nittos now, at least they have them on their site.

nitto's don't have any grip in the wet either.

try dunlop DJ01 they have very good dry grip and better than most street tyres in the wet and are street legal. but exy

Well according to BOOSTD who has the NT555, not the 555R, so not even the top of the range, they stick well in the wet. He is putting down over 260rwkw, so I will take his word for it.

Are you looking for a drag or track tyre?

One is a track tyre with stiff sidewalls the other is a drag tyre.

The drag tyres are crap in the wet as you would expect from any drag tyre.

I'd rather go a RE540 than the nitto as an in between.

My NT555 ZR aren't classed as drag tyres, they are street tyres. The pattern on them looks simalar to any other tyre. And yes they grip better than any other tyre I have used in the wet. They don't seem to need any heat which impresses me to =)

Sorry I think we got mixed up a bit on this one. I was talking nitto drag tyres.

By the sounds of things the nitto street tyres are very good indeed (only just looked at your thread). Very interesting to see the retail damage on them new.
