Nitto’s latest offering is a summer max-performance tire that immediately caught our eye when the guys from the tire company revealed it to us last week. This tire is for the guy who really needs it, not the weekend Pro Touring wannabe. The fact that more of this tire is slick than not makes us want a set for the autocross.

The NT05 is Nitto’s most aggressive non-competition tire and was created with the performance driving enthusiast in mind. The NT05 was developed through extensive computer simulation modeling and on-track testing. Rigorous quality standards produce a tire that provides precise and responsive handling and performance.

The NT05 is available in popular sizes for high-performance vehicles, with additional sizes coming throughout the year. For more information on this and other quality tires from NITTO, log on to Nittotire.com
