Hopefully you can come up with something better than that failed example.
NT05 are sticky for 1 autocross event. After that they are hard as a rock. NT05 is 6 yr old tech....

Look at results for CAM-T, CAM-C and CAM-S for any SCCA National event. You will see all the cars in the top 10 running either the Falkens or the BFG's I mentioned. Or go to a Goodguys Autocross and count how many cars there are running Nitto's. You will find ZERO in the Pro class running them. Go read articles in all the sportscar mags and see their comparison tests...

I stand by my original post. I will side with people such as myself who have been autocrossing for 20 years and who have RUN all three tires.

Too bad you are in PA. If you were closer you could bring your NT05 car and run against my car with either my Falkens or my BFG's and I will beat you on a 60 second autocross course by at least 3 seconds.

Why have a replica 1960's Cobra if you are going to modernize it? Just curious...
to make it more reliable, safer, comfortable, and deliver better performance.
