That's cool but I would rather drift the ***** out of them than do a straight line burnout

About 2500 I drive aggressive. Went to the drag strip with them one night and made about 5 passes or so...

The real issue is the noise.... they are loud!

That sucks.. I also find them a bit soft... My car feels like its swaying easier... as if there is play in the steering wheel

What I like!
NT-05... agree, they are NOISY, stiff and a fairly heavy tire too. They got noisy very fast; it didn't take much wear before mine started rumbling and droning. The stiff sidewall is nice for turn-in, but there's gotta be a better tire out there for grip on the street with less noise and weight.

Oh, my spousal unit claims the NT-05 tread stinks up the garage like no other. I'm definitely going with something else next time......

Anyone try the Dunlop Star Specs?

I'm not going with the NT-05 after all the comments here.
