Swift,

Don't do like I did and get the tire labels confused: the NT-05 is a wear rating 200 street tire. If you want to go drag racing, add R so you get NT-05R.

The NT-05 is OK in the rain. Not outstanding, but adequate. The NT-05R would be dicey...

Nitto says the "R" designation has a wear rating of 00 LOL

The NT-01s are intended for road racing and have a wear rating of 100.

Tom
