Why so much love for the Hankooks and no love for these Nitto's ? The NT05's and Invo's are very affordable just like the Hankook's.

I just picked up a set of Nitto NT05's and with all the praise on the Hankook's, I am hoping I didn't make a mistake... They should arrive some time next week so I have not used them yet. The shipping has taken much longer than I would of hoped for though. But I paid just under 900 shipped for the full set so I cant complain. PM me if you are curious as to where I got them. I would supported the forum sponsors but couldn't find one with them for a price I was happy with.

I kept the stock size for this batch, I wanted to go bigger but the price was right for these... 275/35/19 and 245/40/19 combo, other option was the ventus evo's in 275-f / 305-r.

These NT05's and even the Nitto Invo's seem to get brilliant reviews on the corvette forums and on all the tire sites review sections ... Going through google, all I found were posts from the corvette forums about the NT05'S. All the people seemed to impressed with them. If they can allow the Z06 to hook I would assume they'll be great for us too... That was the reason for me going with them over the Hankook Ventus Evo v12's.

Anyone have the NT05's though ? Feedback ? Haven't seen or heard much about him on here hoping they turn out to be as good as the reviews I have seen.

200 Tread wear rating is not the greatest, how long they last will probably determine if they are worth it. The invo's has a better tread wear rating, and were more wet weather frieldly but I want the best grip I can get and the I dig the look of the nt05's a lot.
