I have been through 2 sets of the MPSS and both sets seem to get hard and become awful for traction ....Both sets seem to have done this at around the 2 year mark ....and still have plenty of tread left. After researching the NT05 most info either is confused with the NT05R tire or goes directly to that conversation.

I’m assuming that the MPSS are just getting old before I use the thread and then become less grippy so I was thinking the NT05 would be softer and wear down before/if the tread gets hard ...the MPSS are rated 300 treadwear AA traction A temperature ... the NT05 are 200/AA/A if the ratings mean anything from one brand to another.

I’m running 612hp/511tq and I know anything less than a R compound tire will struggle with traction ...any info and experience with different tires will be helpful
