I think they are the best Ultra High Performance street tire in my size for the money. Way better than the P-Zeros on my Trak Pak GT. I don't think storage temp matters. In fact cooler is better.
If I ran the regular nt05 up front, I'm sure performance will be excellent, but how many miles can I expect out of them? 100% street duty. Since nitto changed the 555 to that new cheezy tread pattern I'm looking at other options for when the time comes. I'm pretty much settled on the nt05r when my 555r's are done so the matching nt05 up front would seem ideal..Thanks for the input.
