Default 20" Drag Radials/Slicks?

305/35/20 NT 555R Drag Radial
Has anyone used this size? Trying to see if they really hook and if they are worth the cash?

Are there any other 20" racing tires similar to that size? Im trying to find a good tire for my 20x11 C6 Z06 Rims.

I have these exact tires on my turbo Stang. They definately hook better then any 20" tire I have used. A couple of things to note. Nitto's sizes run smaller then advertised. So a 305 width would actually fit better on a 10" rim. Also, these are a little bit taller, to help get some sidewall. So not the super low profile look.

Thanks for the input! I just saw some pics, they look too narrow for a 20x11" rim

Check tread with, My buddy has them on 11" rims. I think the tread contact is more than 11"? Check their website.
