Can someone tell me why Nitto makes the Invo in a 345/30/19, and the NT-O5 R(drag radial) in 345/30/19, but not the regular NT-05 in 345/30/19? ***?!:dunno:

And vice-versa, they don't make a NT05 tire in the front 285/30-19 sizing. Hence the mixed combo on mine ;)

Sweet, but i like your last set even more.

I don't remember. Hey Nineball post a comparision picture showing both if you get a chance. I think these would look bitchin on my silver SRT-10, what do you think???

You know, I went with the silver and GTS Blue look... Wonder what rims powder-coated in GTS Blue would look like on the silver car? Probably too ricey I would imagine...

George, you should buy my previous setup. The brushed finish would match the silver paint perfectly. HRE P40 1-piece monoblock forged 19s/20s.

Looks Great.

How is the grip with ur new tire combo in str8 line and when turning?.

How is the 05r grip compared to invos for the back tire ??

Last, why u went with Invo for front instead of regular 05 ??


I have a thread posted while ago asking for some pics for these tires and some review, did not get any good pics.

thanks for sharing.

These drag radials aren't meant for turning, the have soft sidewalls. I've not driven on the wheels yet. Nitto NT05-R is similar to the Mickey Thompson drag radials, both of which are MUCH stickier and softer than the Invo tires. Neither is recommended for rain though. They do not make the 285/30-19 NT05 front tire size.

Engine is coming out of the Viper right now, we started tearing the car apart right after these pics were taken in the driveway. Getting it built with forged internals, to add more boost.

Looks great! I love what you did with the "I-beam" coves. I'm currently running GA3Rs.
