Review summary

AI-generated from verified customer reviews.
The Nitto NT05 tires receive overwhelmingly positive feedback for their performance, especially in dry conditions and for high-performance vehicles.
The Nitto NT05 tires are highly regarded for their excellent dry traction and performance capabilities. They are particularly well-suited for high-performance vehicles, street use, and occasional track days. While they excel in dry conditions, their performance in wet weather is limited, and they have a shorter tread life due to their soft compound. Overall, they offer good value for those seeking a high-performance summer tire.

So far my NT05s have treated me really well. Between highway rips, some track usage, sketchy rain, a 1500 mile trip, and everything in between they're a perfectly versatile tire for both daily driving and having some fun on the side. They aren't loud and are pretty nice for highway driving. My commute is only about 20 miles one way and mostly highway, and going almost or above 80mph most of the way they never give me any trouble. They're perfect for that budget ripper that you like to street cruise as well.

Best tire I ever had. Use them in my daily and also use them for track days. Perfect handling during dry season also on rainy days. Haven't used them in winter but we had some cold days and work perfect. On track day work perfect the nt05 sticks and holds perfect I'm sure it can take more power (my car is at ~500whp). Will be buying some more soon will give this tire a 10/10 any day.

These tires are good to have for the track as they have twice the life of slicks but also have sticky properties when they get warm like a slick. I recently used them at a track event and then had to leave suddenly and I drove home (about 100 miles) on them right off the track and the were quiet and ran well. Since they are DOT certified it is fine to do that on a nice day. Worth the price and will likely stay with these for some time.

Get technical:

The Nitto NT05 is an ultra-high-performance summer tire for sports cars and sedans that offers drivers racetrack-inspired handling, outstanding wet or dry traction, quick steering response, and is protected by Nitto's limited manufacturer warranty for first 25% of tread depth.



Features & Benefits

  • Ultra-high-performance tire
  • Black sidewall
  • Reinforced tread blocks and large continuous center rib provide exceptional rigidity and stability, enhancing handling stability
  • Specifically formulated tread compound and reinforced internal construction improve dry road response, traction, handling, and high-speed capabilities
  • Continuous center rib combined with large outer shoulder tread blocks offer consistent contact with the road for high-level dry performance

For the NT05, Nitto leveraged their experience in the motorsports world for a tire that's equally capable on the street or the track. The NT05 features a wide, continuous center rib and large, reinforced shoulder blocks for decisive traction on dry pavement. The specially formulated tread compound and reinforced internal construction of the NT05 emphasize high-speed stability and cornering, keeping the tire planted on the road during hard, high-speed maneuvers. The softer, stickier tread formulation of the NT05 will stiffen and lose traction on colder days; Nitto advises against using this tire if temperatures are below 40-45 degrees F.
