Models and prices

A Toyo Tire brand — but positioned for North America, with many sizes made in Georgia, USA. On Formula Drift PRO’s 2026 approved table — one of only four makers.

NT05 FD-approved in four rear sizes. In Japan the official product page 404s and retail is back-order with no date.
NT555 G2 FD-approved in 315/40ZR18, and the one that is actually stocked in Japan

Second in Formula Drift’s Tire Cup on 280 points. The neat corporate detail: Toyo Tire owns both Toyo, which is on D1’s list, and Nitto, which is on Formula Drift’s table. It is the only company with a foot in both camps — and it uses a different brand in each.

Too few to count: not counted. The brands with enough reviews are compared on the directory.

Buying NITTO from Japan

Tyres are heavy and the cheap lanes close to them, so we buy domestically and quote the freight as one total — and tell you when buying locally beats importing. Send us the size and compound you want.
