Phil and I are going to be running the Cobra at Willow Springs on Oct 3-4 so I'm going to be buying some new track tires. The rims I'll be using are my Steeda Ultra Lights that are 17x9.5 front and 17x10.5 rear so I'm going to run a larger tire in the rear. I've decided to go with either a Nitto NT01 like I had before or the NT05. Due to cost, if I go with the NT01 I'll run a 255/40/17 front and 275/40/17 rear. If I go with the NT05 I'll run a 275/40/17 front and a 315/35/17 rear.

My question is will the wider NT05 be as quick as the narrower NT01? If not I'll go with the NT01. If the NT05 will be just as quick then I'll go with it since they are still cheaper than the NT01 even though they are wider and they'll last longer.
