True that, but I'm starting to come to my own conclusions about the NT05's. I've joined quite a few discussions about their grip and I'm not sure the 200 tread wear is accurate. Nitto tires are made by Toyo which leads me to believe that the compounds aren't much different then the R888's.

Why is it the R888's seem to last about as long as the NT05's?

Everybody I've discussed these tires with tells me they only last about around 10,000 miles when auto crossing and street driving is combined.
