Whoops. Nitto has too much stuff. NT01, NTO5, 05R, NT555, NT555RII, etc.

How do these compare to say an R888? Anyone ever ran both?
Looks like they have sizes that would work for a stock OEM Z06/GS and still not mess with the AH/TC?

I have used NT-05s at the track and they are fine for me. I am only an on track occassionally, 5-8 days per season on track BUT I would not want to drive them on track in the rain.... As for using them in wet conditions, the tread design alone tells me NO.

I pretty much do track days in nice weather and if raining, I'll pass.
