Im just curious to know has anyone tried these tires? Any feedback would be helpful as I'm looking for front tires and these were #1 on my list and available in Stock size.

The NT05's are an excellent performance tire, it's a 200 treadware so you're not going to get as many miles out of them as your average street tire. I've gotten close to 10k out of them so far, mine is primarily a weekend driver and I tend to drive it pretty aggressively. A stickier 140 treadware version is now available as well. Would not recommend these as a year round tire, not good in temps below 40, just 'OK' in the rain. Most shops will include new valvestems with a new tire install, I would recommend them.
Running the NT-05s on my car and love them!

great actually. i used these about 10 years ago for a seasons and they behaved very well. not sure if toyo updated the compound or not but even the old compound wasn't bad. they were 99% of a ps2 at half the price. with the ps2 not even being available in 295 35 18 in the correct compound and the sky high price the t1s is absolutely the go-to for OE sizes

Great! that is what I was hoping to hear. I found them (2) for $283 shipped. I was going to place a order but wanted some real life reviews first. Thanks for the response.

Anyone else on this? looks like NT05 is the choice tire. I'm at a stand still with buying tires or just ditching the stock rims and getting a 18/19 package.

Bridgestone stopped making these in the front sizes. I had them ordered from a local shop where I live and just the rears came and the backs were stop production from the factory.
Too bad I was excited because they seemed great and they were super cheap.

I need some new tires for my c5 z. Figured I would bump this. Leaning towards the nt05 in 275/40r17 front and 295/35r18 rear. This car will see primarily fair weather street use, but some track days when my race car is sidelined.
Any other ideas?

I went down to 255/40r17 in the front on my C5Z (Michelin Pilot Sport 2) and I love them. I have stock size NT-05 in the rear and they've been great. They just get really loud after some miles have been put on them.
