Default Looking for Sticky Sticky, NT05 Vs R888

Are these 2 in the same league?

The NT05's look like they are alot cheaper, but they are only 275's. Supposedly same compound as the T1R's
The R888's have a better tread pattern.. comes in wider options.. but also almost twice as much!

I'm looking for a set of tires that get me traction for 500-600rwhp. My T1R's are not sticking at all.

you guys think the nt05's would be good for autox? I know they'd be good for road course, but i'm curious if they were good for both.

NT05 is a street tire , the R888 is an R comp race tire, the NT01 is the same league as the R888.
