Re: Nitto NT555R Drag Radials in Rain

Pretty much the replies I was thinking I would get. But on the Nitto site, the drag radials got a mid-level rating for wet performance. That's why I thought I would ask.

Hi Guys - At the end of August, a bunch of us are driving out to Sturgis, SD from the Twin Cities, MN for the 10th Annual Mustang Rally. My Cobra has Nitto NT555R drag radials on the rear.

Re: Detailed 93 and 11 engine bays today.

Looks great! Would be interested to know your cleaning method. I deatil cars on the side for extra cash, but the engine compartment is a entirely different process.
