NT05 tires vs MPSS

The same tires will go about 15 minutes before they get greasy. The tread wear of a 200 tire will have more grip but shorter tread wear then a 300 tire. A 300 tread wear thread will have less grip but more tread life then a tire with a 200. Most cases, a 200 tread wear will heat cycle faster then a 300 tread wear tire.
