Thumbs up Trying the NITTO NT05 on my GT3

They come in 255/305 sizes that fit the GT3. Have about 500 miles on them so far (all spirited road miles) and I must say I am really like the tires so far.

They're more quiet and compliant than the Michelins and the price is right too.

Nt05 are comparable to mpss and not mpsc2. They are not good on track, but for DD use it's fine

NT01 are a faster Nitto tire on the track than NT05, but I wouldn't compare it to cup2 or Trofeo R. Its closer to 888

I'd agree here. The CUP2's will remain my track tires but I do plan to give these a go none the less.

Sorry to necro this thread but I'm curious if you tried them on track? I'm rather disappointed in the durability/price ratio of the MPSC2 and looking for a cheap track tire given that the NT-05 are half price. Did you try them on track?
