Me like NT05's

I just went with the Kumho Ecsta SPT yesterday. Good looking tire with similar price to the Hankook's. Got em off tire rack and the reviews on them seemed pretty solid.

I only needed the rears and got over 20,000 miles on the OE tires which I was pretty happy about considering my driving style.

I used the SPT's on my Infiniti and they were pretty good for a 300TW tire. Did well in the wet, not as sticky as stock.

The NT05 and RE-11 are the stickiest and fastest wearing street tire options, and are also going to be the worst performing in heavy downpour situations.

Thanks to everyone for their replies. I'll update with what I buy and a review.

I can attest to this. Not meant for everyday driving. Nice weather tires.
