Nitto NT05 vs Bridgestone stock tires, in the rain?

flashburn · 05-01-2010, 06:38 AM

I'm so conflicted! Either the Invo's or the NT05's I'm thinking. Luckily I still have a couple thousand miles (two months or so) before I'll need to replace the rears.

This review of the NT05's makes them sound more than decent in the rain.

On the way to Florida, we found ourselves in a deluge from Richmond, Virginia, to the Florida border. We were not expecting the NT05s to channel water the way they did. Their performance in the wet was a quantum leap beyond what we've come to expect from the 555s. Even at speeds approaching 90 mph, the car was glued to the road (no, we don't recommend this at home). The Cobra went through standing water practically unaffected. The only thing that slowed us down was the fact that it got to the point where the wipers could not keep up. We would have never attempted such speeds with the 555s.
