Message Tire: Nitto NT05 Max Performance Tires

Since the Z isn't a daily anymore, I decided to go stickier than my Toyo T1-Rs. I wanted something closer to a competition tire that could hold traction at higher boost. So after some research I narrowed it down to the Toyo R888s and the Nittos and ended up with NT05s as they seem to be a bit more street friendly. They have the grip of the classic NT01 but can handle the occasional standing water/rain and should last 5-7k miles (street).

I'm about 200 miles in and so far they are great. They hold grip w/20psi boost from a dead dig and in hard cornering they don't abruptly slide out but instead "telegraph" it. Oversteer is easily controlled as they are very driver friendly. Thanks to Adam@SpecialtyZ for the heads up on these!

As I hadn't taken pics in years, I borrowed Dean's point and shoot for a few quick ones yesterday. Thanks bud!

And a shot of Dean (DrDCanaceu)'s 10-second beast. He seems to be holding up nine fingers though...
