How to Launch a Drag Car with Nitto NT555RII Tires

[@jmontign1]

Great tips, thanks Justin

[@Michael-CS]

Great video. Learned a bit. I’m running these in 19 on my 750 HP GT. I run my 305/35R19 at 29 psi on the rear on the street. I’ll have to try chalking them as I was about to spend 3k on 17” headlocks and MT ET SS tires. This gives me something to think about lol

[@jrod8599]

How did you do after trying this?

[@Michael-CS]

@@jrod8599 It got a little bit better on the Nitto however those tires really need to be heated up in order to get sticky. I'm actually selling the supercharged S550 and getting a S650 DH now; going from around 800 down to 500 as I mellow in my older age.

[@jrod8599]

@Michael-CS I will try it this week, hope I can make them hook. That's a good move, I probably do the same but I'm thinking to get the new s650 roush

[@slantzscuderia]

Awesome video! Thank you.

[@ZZLZ-cj8tl]

Excellent! Great explanation! Very Fast ET! Sub 10.00

[@MD-pz3cn]

Learned a lot, thanks!

[@BP-fx3qc]

R2s 305/45/17 street psi for even wear and dragstrip no prep psi, if anyone knows please. Nitto doesn't provide any info so im just going with Mickey Thompson drag radial instructions.

[@kingjamesexotics5350]

What size are these tires? I’m looking for a set for my c7 z06

[@kevinbreese5739]

305/30/20 on the rear. The size is clearly shown a few times in the video.

[@speedysbarbershop]

Cool video good information!!

[@6.2widekat62]

13 for a test and tune night wouldn’t this be too low for a 20” rim?

[@stangedude5646]

Good video. Should have used a more difficult car to launch like a Mustang.

[@matt6951]

These “tips” don’t work for manual transmission cars.

[@MohamedAchiche-y6j]

Dude I was surprised by the times

[@CoyoteAUS]

I have both 19 and 20 inch rims that I can use for the back would you use nitto555r2 in 305 x 35 x 19 or 305 x 30 x 20 size? I roll race from 30mph in a Whippled 10R80 Mustang GT.

[@mattcarlson8773]

My vote would be the 19 for more sidewall

[@CoyoteAUS]

@@mattcarlson8773 thank you mate

[@raga1s]

Psi for a daily?

[@Coyote.five.0]

in my mustang they ask for 35psi on the 19 rim.

[@gigatron2008]

@@Coyote.five.0 If you run 35 PSI youll wear them out quickly. I run at 25 PSI on the street they will last longer.

[@Coyote.five.0]

@Monopoly i didn't know that thank you i will try that because i just bought 2 new tires for my rear

[@zachattack2016]

An automatic? gotta show drag racing manuals

[@matt6951]

They don’t care.

[@nola504boy1]

Manuals are slow so 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@matt6951]

@@nola504boy1 meh, you’re mostly right. Manuals are cool, and fast manuals are way cooler!

[@owenking6370]

Most fast manuals on drag radial are 50% aftermarket mods and still take so much skill that you won't be getting your learning anything specific from the youtubes

[@TheGennessy]

⁠@@nola504boy1 you’ll soon be humbled by a skilled manual driver, ain’t as fast as no 10r80, but with a good geared car with a good ass driver would smoke you or give you a good race lol

[@cameronsund5477]

Good vid

[@itsa504thang7]

Can you provide a link to your rear spoiler ?

[@slantzscuderia]

😆Your local Chevy dealer.

[@jsteveholloway]

Too bad he didn't tell us the size of his tires or did I miss it

[@guysteel]

305/30R20

[@skullhart]

Don't even bother if you have a manual transmission

[@kevinbreese5739]

What do you mean?

[@skullhart]

@Kevin Breese Even with full suspension upgrade, one can not launch drag radials without wheel hop. They're fine for the street but terrible at the track. Need Bias Ply.

[@user-pr5po9iq7t]

​@@skullhart .... So, what DOT tire would you recommend for a 2023 ScatPack Widebody Shaker with manual transmission?!? 🤷‍♂️

[@skullhart]

@K For the street, anything is fine, but for the track you'll want bias ply front and rear

[@user-pr5po9iq7t]

@@skullhart .... I forgot to put in the original message, for the 1/4 mile track 😖... 😅..... Thanks 👍

[@Hello_its_me_mario]

Tires are good for auto cars only

[@mooosestang]

Is everyone roll racing in this video, wtf?
