I'm sure they will be adding new tire sizes as they keep going. Stay tuned to their site.
I'm excited to see a 275/40/20. That size has been missing for a LONG time from other tire manufacturers.

Awesome looking tire.

But they went from 275 to 335 in the 19s with nothing in between??

They'll be making more sizes, not too worry. Like I said above, they will have them in all the popular sizes eventually. Give them time to create them.... At least now we can see what the tread design looks like...

Cool, I didn't read that above. Yeah that makes sense. Great looking tire. Do you know if it will be priced closer to the NT01 or the 555?

Yikes...that can't be good in the rain. Looks nice though.

Very cool.

Its a max performance summer tire.

Definitely not made for wet traction, but I don't think that was the goal with these

My understanding is it will be priced similar to the 555. We'll have to wait and see....

hmmmmmm... i just saw those on their site yesterday. i wonder if i could fit that 275/35/19 up front with some work........

jon, hows that compound going to work with the 555r's? am i better off sticking with the 555 for the front? either way the tread will be a little different than the rear.
