Default little Review Nitto NT-05

So.. I had to shop for my bald rears due to too much toe...

I've been using Kumho Ecsta MX 245/40/18F 275/40/18R and

I've come up with the list of tires...

cheap but sticky!

Ecxta XS
Dirazza Star Spec Z1
Felken RT-615
Hankook Rs-3
Nitto NT-05
Nitto Invo


I decided to go with NT05 because theywere actually the Cheapest and directional!

I picked up 275/40/18

Also I've heard some pretty good thing about them from Supras and Vette owners so I wanted to try.

After getting alignment from Alex Pfeiffer, I took it to some empty place to check them out.


First, they have more grip.
I felt that when I took a first U-turn and definetly it's better.

They are very predictable when they slide out!

The road noise has reduced in the rear but I still have the MX fronts

Making U-turns got little quicker because it's more predictable and the grip is more constant compare to MXs.

the grip is better than MXs and it is very much easier to handle at the limit.

Sidewall seems just good with my Stance coils.

Little more stiffer than MXs?

Haven't tried in the Rain but it will come soon.

Overall, I'm Very Satisfied with NT-05



PS. When I was getting my Aligment from Alex, he told me he uses the Same tire on his Formula D SC300!


thanks for reading my sloppy review

That is one hell of a tire for the street. Treadware 200. Not in my budget.

Tires on car show positive camber. How did that happen?
