[QUOTE="MalcolmV8, post: 14220632, member: 8854"] I personally didn't like the NT05 up front. While it's not a full on drag radial it seems to have some of the properties. After highway driving which heated the fronts they hooked really well in corners but once they cooled braking and cornering became real iffy. Made for unpredictable handling especially as the tires aged some. After two seasons I also found the tires seemed to have gone rock hard from heat cycles I presume and would slide out on corners and slip on braking to stop lights too until you heated them good on the highway. After that experience I won't recommend anyone go with NT05 up front. They may seem cool at first but give them some miles and heat cycles and see how crappy they become. I eventually went back to the stock factory choice of Eagle F1s. They hook hard, corner like a beast and brake well. They ride quiet and the price is reasonable. I see no reason to run anything else other than if you're trying to match treads or something between front and rear which I'm not overly concerned about since no front tire is going to match the MT out back.
