About the Nitto NT05

Track-Bred Grip, Street-Ready Confidence

Best forSports cars and performance sedans driven on dry and wet paved roads, including occasional track use, in warm to moderate climates.

The Nitto NT05 is an ultra-high-performance summer tire built for sports cars and performance sedans that demand serious grip on both public roads and the track. It delivers sharp steering response, strong cornering capability, and confident traction on wet and dry pavement. This is a purpose-built performance tire, not a daily commuter or cold-weather option.

The NT05 uses a symmetrical tread pattern anchored by a wide, uninterrupted center rib and oversized reinforced shoulder blocks that maintain consistent road contact and resist flex under hard cornering loads. A specially engineered tread compound paired with a stiffened internal construction prioritizes dry-road grip, high-speed stability, and responsive handling. Note: this compound softens for grip in warm conditions but stiffens below approximately 40–45°F, making the tire unsuitable for cold-weather use. Nitto backs the NT05 with a limited manufacturer warranty covering the first 25% of tread depth.

Questions about this tire

What does 275/30ZR19 96W mean?

275 is the tread width in millimeters, 30 means the sidewall is 30% of that width, and R19 is the 19-inch rim it mounts on. 96 is the load index (1,565 lbs per tire), and W is the speed rating (up to 168 mph).

Is the Nitto NT05 a good fit for everyday commuting?

Not really. The NT05 is engineered around track-level performance rather than everyday practicality — its stiff construction and performance-oriented compound are overkill for routine commuting and may wear faster in stop-and-go driving. Drivers looking for a more balanced daily tire would be better served by a grand touring or performance all-season option.

Can the Nitto NT05 be used in winter or cold weather?

No. The NT05's tread compound is designed to stay pliable and grippy in warm conditions, but it hardens significantly once temperatures drop below roughly 40–45°F. Using this tire in cold weather, snow, or ice will result in a meaningful loss of traction and is not recommended by Nitto.

How does the NT05 perform in corners and at high speeds?

Cornering is a core strength of the NT05. The combination of a rigid continuous center rib, large outer shoulder blocks, and a reinforced internal structure keeps the tire planted and responsive through hard turns and at elevated speeds. It carries a Z speed rating, reflecting its capability at very high velocities.

Can NT05 tires be mixed with other tire models on the same vehicle?

Nitto acknowledges a common performance application where NT05 tires are mounted on the front axle of rear-wheel-drive vehicles, paired with drag radials on the rear. As with any mixed fitment, consult your vehicle's guidelines and a qualified installer to ensure the combination is appropriate for your setup.

What rim sizes does the Nitto NT05 come in?

The NT05 is available in 32 sizes spanning 15-inch through 20-inch rim diameters, covering a wide range of performance cars and fitments. Check the size selector on this page to confirm availability for your specific vehicle.

Buying from TFS Wheels

Shipping, returns & guarantees

Authorized Dealer — 100% Brand New Wheels & Tires

TFS Wheels is an authorized dealer for every brand we carry. Every wheel and tire we ship is brand new, unused, and packaged in its original manufacturer's box. We never sell refurbished, demo, or return-stock product. All manufacturer warranties apply and our warehouse is staffed by people who only handle wheels and tires — no in-transit damage, no test-fits, no surprises.

Free Shipping (Lower 48)

Free shipping on every order — wheels, tires, and accessories — to the contiguous United States. No minimum order, no hidden fees.

Standard delivery is 4–7 business days; expedited is 1–4 business days. Orders placed before 1:00 PM ET typically ship the same day. We do not ship internationally or to PO boxes.

Fitment Guarantee

If a wheel or tire marked "Direct Fit" or "Aftermarket Fit" for your vehicle arrives and does not fit as expected, we cover both the restocking fee and return shipping. The same applies if the bolt pattern does not match — provided your vehicle information was submitted at checkout.

To qualify for the guarantee, enter your year, make, model, and submodel before placing the order.

Manufacturer's Warranty

Every wheel and tire is covered by the full manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Coverage terms vary by brand — most cover structural integrity for the life of the wheel and finish for 1 to 2 years from purchase. If you ever have a warranty question, contact us first; we work directly with the manufacturer on your behalf so you don't have to.

Accessories Included with Your Order

When you submit your vehicle information at checkout, the right lug nuts and (if needed) hub-centric rings are automatically added to your cart in the correct sizes — no guessing, no separate ordering.

TPMS sensors are also available in the cart. We program each sensor to your vehicle's exact year, make, model, and submodel before shipping, so they arrive ready to sync with your truck or car the moment they're installed. This typically saves customers the dealer or installer's programming fees, which often run several dozen dollars per wheel.

Returns

Returns are accepted within 30 days of purchase on items in new, unused condition. A 25% restocking fee applies to general (change-of-mind) returns, and the buyer covers return shipping.

The restocking fee and return shipping are waived for incorrect items, transit damage, or fitment issues when vehicle information was provided at checkout. Single wheels, single tires, mounted items, special orders, and accessories (lug nuts, locks, hub-centric rings, TPMS sensors, installation kits) are final sale.
