Has anyone tried the new NT 555R II tire? They have a 305 35 18 but don't have the NT-01 available. In need of rear tires for an 997.1 RS. Other options?

Tire detail below:

A unique fusion of stiff sidewall construction and Nitto's popular Extreme Drag Radial tread design makes the new NT555RII an exceptional road course performer. Add to that its specially formulated soft compound, and you get a competition radial that exhibits impressive control and handling during severe lateral acceleration. Although the NT555RII is street legal, the tire's construction will offer a rougher ride when used for daily driving.

•High block rigidity, soft compounding and large contact patch provide extreme dry traction in race conditions.

•Two wide steel belts and two nylon cap plies stabilize tread for superior traction and handling.

•Steel sidewall inserts provide control and stability during extreme lateral acceleration.

•Spiral wound, jointless bead construction ensures high casing stability for superior control at high speed.

•Low void ratio and large tread blocks optimize dry traction.

•W- or Y-speed rated (depending on size), 6/32" tread depth, 100AA UTQG Rating.

This tire is especially popular with drifting enthusiasts.

maybe I'll just buy NITTO?

If you do, first item on the list is to make 335/30/18s and 255/40/18s for the RS owners.

Don't buy Nitto. Just buy the molds and equipment specific to NT01's. I can run the manufacturing process.
