Ended up getting a set of NT05's for all four corners.... Hopefully they hook for me like they do for you DarkblueTA!

I didn't get a chance to look at toyo's but now that I have a chance, they might be my next set- the reviews are really good!

I had Firestone Firehawk Wide Ovals on the fron/NT555R on the rear for years.

I know have NT-05's all around.

NT-555R still had more forward bite from a stop than the NT-05 even when they were old.

NT-05's absolutely torch the other setup around corners.

Built for totaly different purposes.

You have the Nt05s all the way around, please tell me about them do they do ok cool and very good hot , ive heard they totally suck unless they are warm, and also a lot of mixed reviews on them

im more into autox and cornering than drag racing i have eibach sportlines so it has no weight transfer and isnt much on the drag strip, but handles awesome and my tires now are really hurting me, would they be a good choice for what im into or should i look for something different.

I think they are a realy good high performance street tire that can handle a little autocross work. They will not equal R-888's, NT-01's, and so forth. I have drieven them with temps in the 40's. I drove them easy for awhile to let them ain some temperature. After that they stuck pretty good. Obviously, they are better when it is warmer out. I am happy with them.
