It's time to replace my rear tires, I am considering nt05,

Quick info;

Fronts are still 265 (falken 452)

Rears were 275 (falken 452) but thinking to get nt05

If I get nt05, when the time is right to replace fronts, I would get the same ones for front too

I'm wondering, would I have too much traction on the rears and not enough on front? What kind of weirdness would that cause?

I like my 452 setup and do you think nt05 would increase my cornering ability?

I read that people use it for 10-15 K miles with them, and I don't even daily my car, so imagine my 06 has 30k miles on it, meaning I don't drive much but when I do I want to enjoy

Or r888, is it true that nt05 thread life is longer than r888?
Your thoughts are important

 

I have 255 fronts and 275 rears NT05's and they have so much grip. I have not found their limit yet, I should get 20k out of set and that includes a few trips to the dragon and a day @ VIR.

Absolutely, you're talking about a r-comp vs non-r-comp tire...NT05s will last twice as long.
