Default Nt05r vs mt vs world

Help me decide. I need some new rears. 17x9.5 wheels. Maybe put 5k miles at most a year, but don't want m&h's. 75% street 25% track. Auto 3800 yank, 3.42 10 bolt, qa1's, lca, phr, chassis mount tq arm, stock sway, stock rear spring, 400rw n/a and 150-200 shot. The fenders have been molested already so fittment isn't an issue.

With that being said which tire do you guys recomend? I like the mt but the nt05r is really getting my attention.

Thanks

might be a personal pref, but can I ask why you don't want the M&H? I have a lot of people tell me that they are a great tire. Haven't heard to much from anyone on the new nitto's being that no one here runs them on the street, but at the track, there have been some post of getting better 60' outta em. I personally run MT's and they are great. I hear toyo's tq's arent bad either. 325/45/17 is my rec.

The 295/45 MT would be an awesome tire to run, but they dont fit very well on a 9.5 wheel even tho some ppl put them on there.

Mainly only because while i dont drive the car often i dont like what i have heard about the longevity of the m&h's. Id love that size but im pretty sure its too big for my 9.5" wide wheels

here is the 295/45 ona 9.5
I LOVE mine, just excuse the stance, the car is in a few 100 pieces right now



I dont think they look out of place at all. Also they have 20psi in them, i ran 25psi in my first set and they didnt bulge as much, but this set has been run low the whole time and are wearing a lot better
