Why in the hell would you want to run a soft wall drag radial on 4 corners?

Are you sure it's a drag tire? I've swear I've seen guys running them at autocross/hpde on vettes several times.

His Viper has the elusive AWD option.

He probably said that because of Nitto's description of the design of the tire.

I think you, and the OP are confusing the NT05-R (Drag radial) for the NT01-R (road course).

was going to order the nt05R's for the rear and normal nt05 up front, need something that will hook up with a 250 shot, order 18s to run dedicated setup instead
