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.

The all-new NT05R is a D.O.T.-compliant competition drag radial designed for serious drag racing enthusiasts. The dual-purpose sidewall construction and the all-new specialized race compound enhance traction during launch and deliver stability at the top-end. This results in improved* consistency and controllability from the tire. The NT05R Will get you off the line quickly and down the track with confidence and speed.
The new NT05R Drag Radial will not phaise out the current NT555R Drag Radial. For those of you considering a street legal drag set up, the new NT05R Drag Radial will complement the recently released NT05 very well.
TECHNOLOGY
- New drag-specific compound specifically engineered for maximum traction at the starting line
- Large center tread block provides excellent dry traction and continuous contact patch
- Sidewall construction with high-modulus bead filler and large shoulder blocks increase straight-line stability
oh well only time will tell if they hook at the track, going to be a good tire none the less

Just be careful around the corners ... they will likely have a bunch more grip than what you have on the front!!
If you are in the Toronto area, and decide that you want to take them off, my friend who has the same tires on his 07 GT might be interested in buying them from you.
