Also, can you compare the NT05, NT05R and the 555R?
I know the R's are DR's, but i'm on my second set of 555R's and LOVE THEM!! Now, I want NT05R's, but they dont come in a size I want/need.
How close are the 555R's to the NT05's? I'm sure the NT05R's blow them both away, but I live in Los Angeles so I daily drive my car year round and in the rain too.
My 555R's are fine in the rain, but I want a stickier tire for the dry days I'm driving. Looks like the NT05's might be that tire..... slightly better grip than the 555R, but not quite the 05R. Am I right?

The NT05 is geared for auto-x and aggressive driving of the like. The sidewalls are stiffer when compared to a drag radial for enhanced steering response. The NT05R D/R utilizes softer rubber compounding and an updated semi-radial internal construction to compete with the M/T ET Street Radial. The compounding is softer than the NT555R D/R so you can expect about half the life out of the NT05R when compared to the NT555R.

I see a lot of rain where I live, and have been using the
Cooper Zeon 2XS tires because they were cheaper than the
GS-D3s and my favorite tire store couldn't get BFG KDWs in
the size I want (285/40R17). They have tolerable dry traction,
corner well, good wet until the water gets too deep. I call
them roughly equal to the GS-D3s.
Any direct comparison to these Coopers?

I'm on another set of fresh NT05's... 315's in the rear & 275 in the front.
Last week I drove from Milw, WI to Road Atlanta in for the Petit LeMans and both going and coming home I drove the Tail of the Dragon in TN/NC and wasn't easy on the car since I've done this before. The tires were OUTSTANDING once again. They even did surperb in a heavy rainstorm on the freeway. 1,950 miles on them in 7 days and looking forward to many more!

Now, can you compare the NT05's to a 555R in terms of softness and wear? I loved my 555R's and they've lasted about 17k with only one track day (3 runs). Basically I'm hoping for a great street tire that doesn't break loose on right turns with cops sitting on every corner in LA, lol.

Thanks man, this helped seal the deal for me.[/QUOTE]
No problem. Ive had this car for 15 years/ 140k miles and have run many types of tires on it and honestly this is this best tire its seen. Like I said, this is my 2nd set and have recommended them to many others.

I see there was a camera mounted on the car... I'm gonna say we need to see the video of that or I'm going to believe it never happened
. But seriously, I bet that was amazing.

Getting a spare set of rims and tires for autocross next season. they will be 315/35/17 on all 4 corners. I'm debating on NT01 and 05. Which would be more suitable?
