Nitto NT 05's. Anybody have them yet?

Just ordered a set of 19's from discounttiredirect. $780 for all 4 with free shipping and no tax.

They just came out but so far every review I have read has been very positive. Very sticky track compound but streetable. They look sick as hell too. 200 treadwear so I don't expect a really long life but I got 30K out of the stock bridgestones with a 140 rating so who knows?

Thumbs up

I love them. Best tires I ever had. They stick like glue. Hard launches with the stock bridgestones were a spin fest, these just get up and go. Even a hard shift to 2nd on the bridgestones and they would break loose. The NT-05's just give a very satisfying sharp chirp and you're off.

got about 2k on them and they seem to have very little (as in unnoticable) wear.

I'll definately buy them again when it's time.

We're pretty much done with rain here too until about october but i did drive them during a couple storms. Very good wet performance. They have the 2 deep channels that push the water out. no hydroplaning at 80mph in a steady rain.
