Default Nitto coming out with a new drag radial

Looks like Nitto is back in the drag radial game with this more drag strip friendly compound

Caught the Nitto rep talkin' this new entry up on the FOX timeslot last week that showed the Memphis LSX Shootout where you were one of the winner's. ( My congrats posted on an earlier thread)
Rep said it's real soft compared to their current 555R model.

But unless I blinked too long, they never showed your race! &#%*+@$! I was bummed!

Yeah I saw some info on those a couple of weeks ago, looks like a decent drag radial. It's only coming out in limited sizes at first but fortunately some of those will be 19" which is good for those C6 owners who don't want to swap out their stock rims.
