Default Nt05 wr?

Picking up some new tires and have decided on going with the Nitto NT05's front/rear. In shopping around, I found a couple listings from the same shop (DTD) that show them with different speed ratings (W and WR) and different prices.

DTD Site: Nitto NT05 295 /35 R18 99W SL BSW - $490/set

DTD on eBay: 2 NEW 295/35-18 NITTO NT 05 35R R18 TIRES - $442/80/set

What am I missing here? Are these the same tires just at a better price in one place or are they different tires?

I tried my google fu and ample forum searching to make sure there wasn't something obvious I was missing. If I did, please flame on!

So I've concluded (hopefully correctly) that they are in fact the same tires.

2x 295/35-18 NITTO NT 05 - http://www.ebay.com/itm/360886679537
2x 275/40-17 NITTO NT 05 - http://www.ebay.com/itm/360886679924

$680.80 shipped to the door after $50 coupon off $300 Expires 5/6/16(Code: CTIRES416) $100 cheaper than on their site directly.

Save another $35 by ordering the sets separately, adding http://www.ebay.com/itm/190660963448 to your cart when you order the fronts (2x 275/40-17 NITTO NT 05) to put the total over $300.

$645.80 to your door!
