NT-05 is for drag racing. Great traction in a straight line but probably not optimal for autocross or DE. The NT-01 would be way better and is very popular for A/X and DE.

Not exactly, you may have confused the nt05 with nt555.
NT555 is drag, where nt05 is max summer tire much like hankook rs3, yoko ad08, Dunlop star spec, BFG rival and the Bridgestone re11. Nt01 is "r-comp" all in track purpose tire.

NT-05 tires are great on the track once warm. Very noisy if you plan on driving them on the street every now and then. They were similar to RS3's if I could compare them to another tire.
