On a side note I have pictures of my rear NT05s and they do not seem all that word down, but were causing my car to sway over rivits and bumps, that is gone with the winters and the nittos only look half gone... I prob got 8k on the nt05s tops and they crapped out.. Loved them when they were new, but will not be getting them again in the summer. Im going to contact nittos customer service to see if what I had going on was normal.

What was the outside temp when you experienced the problems with your NT05s? It's normal for high performance summer tires to loose grip when the temps drop below the 40's. The stock Bridgestones turn into hockey pucks when temps drop to freezing or below, no grip whatsoever... That's why winter tires make sense, even when there is no snow. The rubber is of such a compound that it stays soft even when temperatures drop below freezing.
