So i'm pretty sure i'm going with NT05's for the blue car, but just for sake of boredom, anyone have experience with a tire that's similar or better then the NT05 for cheaper? I LOVE the NT05's on my "race" car. They're a tad spendy ($650 M&B) for 275/40/17's. Since the blue car will be making quite a bit of power I dont want a standard all weather tire, but not something for dry weather only. The car very well may be my DD for a while.

If you want something good, it's going to cost you. $650 is a good price for NT01s actually. I'd say get BFG KDWS and be happy. I'm going to buy 17" wheels just do I can run those tires.

NT01's are quite a bit more then then NT05's

I had NT05's on my GT500 and loved them they hooked up better then any of the others I tried

How long did they last on the shelby? That's similar power levels so should be about the same life span.

I had about 20,000 miles on them and they hadn't reached the wear bars.
the GT500 was running 650hp 600trq so I thought that was really good
