Nitto NT-01

Starting 2/1 Nitto will now have the 305/30/19 available. Great news for guys who do not want to go to an 18" wheel for the track.

I have one question. Take a look at the specs. Overall width on a 305/35/18 NT-01 is 12.32" which is around what most 305's measure howver per Nitto's webiste they're claiming only a 10.28 overal width.

I did speak to a rep and they confirmed the contact patch is the same @ 11.8"

Confused!!!!! MPSS are around 12.1 in the same 19" size.

This is great news! Where will be the best place to get them? I note that Tirerack does not carry any Nitto's.

I wonder if the 10.28" width is an error. My tire calculator puts that size at 12.01" and has the diameter at 26.2" which is consistent with Nitto's reported 26.26". Perhaps a typo on the width, maybe??

It's a typo... My Nitto contact says 305/30/19s are confirmed to be available February 1st. No pricing yet. Just received 8 sets of 305/35/18s last week... Stock up when they become available as availability is very spotty... they sell out quickly and might not be available for months at a time. Trust me..

Thought so as well on the typo. Hopefully they improve their supply chain moving forward
