NT01's Rock they just don't do well in the rain and you better expect to buy a new set in the beginning of the season.

I'm just thinking Nitto already sells that size in the 555 if wet is concern, and also in the NT01 if its strictly for performance, so they are probably thinking since its not the most popular size across the spectrum, they already have two tires that are made in that size already that work well.
VP23271:
The tread rating on the NT05 is a 200, while the R888s are 100, same as Nitto's NT01.
Note: If you are going to compete at any of the Good Guys events your tires have to be 180 or greater, so at the NT05's 200 rating, you are in great shape.
