Can someone please convince me on which set to committ to? I just bought a practically new set of lmgt4s and need some tires.. I really have been interested in the nt05s but the only concern i really have is the ride quality. Is it really that harsh? Im not too worried about how loud they are or the treadwear but i do live in WV where the roads are not the greatest by any means and the car is mainly used for my DD with very few track days (probably 1-3 this year). So my question is, is it worth a little extra money and decrease in ride comfort for the nt05s or should i stick with a less aggressive tire like the goodyear?
I have driven the Eagles in those sizes and actually have some I am looking to sell.
I loved them for daily driving in the summer. They had good grip, looked awesome, and were amazing in the rain. Only downside was rear tire wear and cost.

I had Goodyear eagle f1 gs-d3 before. Quiet and decent grip. Best for street driving. However, they cant stand the heat for track day use, it got greasy after 3-5 laps. I will not use them for track day.
NT-05 is much better tires for the track from what I have heard, however I have never tried them. I switched to Re01r and Nt-01 after the Eagle F1 was done.
Keep in mind that, these 2 tires are in different class. NT-05 are extreme performance tire compared to Eagle F1 Max Performance. The NT-05 has better performance but the Eagle F1 will last longer 200 vs 280 treadwear
