Nitto NT05's Anybody?

Getting ready to replace the tires this spring and looking for some opinions, if anybody has them on the newer Nitto NT05.

I will be running a 295/35 18 rear and 265/35 18 front.

I'm running them and love them so far 285/35/18 although 295 will clear a little tighter. Hook very similar to a drag radial when warmed up and have a decent thread life. you'll need a adj panhard to center your rear end in order to clear.

Re: Nitto NT05's Anybody?

Thanks for the input Z28. Glad your review was good also. I heard many good things about them on other boards, so I'm very excited to try them out. I have been running a 285, and have an Adj PHB, so I should be in the clear.

Thanks again.
