Nitto FTW, one of the few tires i trust other than BFG. have NeoGen's on the civic, and had terra grappler on the truck while back. i'd be interested to see how the NT01's are tho!

That's a lot of tire man - good stuff. Nitto is a name I see quite a bit, never run them, but there's enough guys that are, so I think it's a solid choice. Can't wait to hear how they work.

The NT-05 is an extreme performance street tire designed for improved cornering. It sounds like you're maybe expecting it to be good from a launch, if so I think that you will be disappointed. I've driven my friend's 07 GT with a set of 275/40/18 NT-05 rubber at Mosport, they work well in that environment anyway.


cheers
