Nitto Tire Continues Bonus Program for NT555RII Drag Radials in 2022

Posted By: Michael Galimi
Nitto Tire is continuing its generous bonus program for its NT555RII drag radials in 2022 for the highly popular TorqStorm Superchargers True Street category. The Nitto crew will boost the purse to $1,000 for the winners of the 15-second, 14-second, 13-second, 12-second, 11-second, 10-second, and 9-second time zone winners all season long at every Holley NMRA Ford Nationals event in 2022.
 
The program began in 2020 as way to celebrate the release of Nitto's NT555RII drag radial and since then, Nitto has paid the $1,000 bonus to nearly 30 racers. The NT555RII drag radial was released as a better design to its popular and successful drag radial program and exceeds dry performance, wet traction, comfort, and quietness over the NT05R while still maintaining a 100 UTQG treadwear rating. Nitto engineers accomplished this task through a drag race compound, reconfigured sidewall, and tread design.
 
Harry Kong, Manager, Brand Publishing, at Nitto Tire U.S.A., said The NT555RII is a D.O.T.-compliant competition drag radial designed with additional flexibility for the weekend drag racer. Nitto currently offers 28 different sizes for 15-to-22 inch diameter wheels, check www.NittoTire.com for sizes and authorized dealers near you.
 
“Nitto Tire has supported NMRA for over 20 years and we’re thankful for their continued generosity towards the NMRA participants. They have an unwavering commitment to NMRA drag racing and our True Street racers benefit greatly from it,” said Rollie Miller, General Manager and National Event Director of the Holley NMRA Ford Nationals.
 
The 2022 season begins at Bradenton Motorsports Park March 3-6 with the legendary NMRA Spring Break Shootout, complete with TorqStorm Superchargers True Street, championship heads-up and index racing, specialty categories and much more.
