Guess I missed the list, but I don't think I'd have put the NT-05's on it anyway (they
are better than NT555's, but that's not saying much). There used to be a video showing a (BMW, IIRC) running through some esses, and getting sloppy and way too tailhappy about it. Somewhat lot more recently, Terry Fair tried some NT-05's on the 2011 Mustang he's been pretty seriously (and successfully) competing with and he didn't like them any better.

I will go ahead and say something that a few HPDE gurus won't agree with: Nitto NT-05s suck. These tires are greatly inferior to Yokohama AD08s, Bridgestone RE-11s, Hankook RS3, and Dunlop Star Specs that I've tracked and/or autocrossed with on this same car.
