The 555 claimed to be a drag tire, but nowhere near the traction at track vs a true drag radial.

Used to run the MT street radials on the 73 GTO and those seemed fine for a cruiser, relatively soft ride. The MT, BFG and Cooper seem very similar to each other? Maybe coming from the same factory???

Probably needs to be some clarification to avoid some confusion.

I think they've changed or rearranged those designations. The NT05 is now the tire oriented for performance, racing etc... Least on their website anyway

The NT555 that I put on my sons mustang is definitely not the drag tire. It is advertised as their performance summer tires. Good for all weather conditions but primarily geared towards spirited summer driving. Not a track tire by any means. They are not offered in anything for a 15" wheel unfortunately.

Their drag radials tires on the other hand do come in some 15" sizes.
