Even Nitto's website has the NT05 as its worst-rated street tire for wet performance. I've driven through Florida monsoon rain with them, and they're sketchy. That's probably not helped by the fact that I'm running 305 square on my track wheels, but still...

I used them twice on track days - they did OK until they started getting hot then I could feel them getting greasy. I now have NT01 on my OEM rims as a track day tire and they are great - just need to find the time/$$ to get out there and use them more...

Yeah, would not recommend RE760 as a track tire. NT01 is great, but a little quiet for me - I like to hear the tires, and the NT01 doesn't really make noise until its breaking away.

JJ, you’re not far from ECS. Ever have your car tuned there?
