I did 150+ multiple times this weekend and I didnt have a single issue, done a good bit of 100+ pulls whether with the regular NT05s and the 05Rs they felt the same. Gotta be ur roads. And I run mine at 29-30psi as well same psi I used on the regular 05s

Cool man.

Discount Tire is my new best friend. They are taking the NT05R's back no questions asked and refunding the difference. I bought 335/30/19 regular street NT05's and only have to pay for mounting and balancing. So, I got a chance to run the DR's for roughly 600 miles...felt the suck, and purchased regular street tires and got roughly 80 bucks back on the deal. I apologize to those that were PM'ing me about wanting my used DR's....but I can't refuse that deal.

To all that run the R's...I'm happy they're working for you. But for those that drive in areas where roads could be better...you might want to take a shot on normal tires.

Mine are mounted and I could not be happier with them. My car used to spin all of second gear and the beginning of third. Now it sticks. Still spins in first rolling into it, but that's with 28 psi and no burnout on the street. Pretty sure it'll hook at the track.

Smokin, your roads must suck. These tires work.

I run anywhere from 28-30 when cold, gives enough cushion if you lose a few psi if its a weekend only car so you hardly have to add air ever.

Not heat cycled. Also, Discount tire didn't come through like they said they would. So they're back up for sale. Sorry for the hijack OP.
