NT05 or DZ101? - EvoXForums.com

allensaldi · 09-17-2012, 09:25 PM

I'm about to buy new tires. Car only sees sunny days and spirited driving.

I'm lowered on H&R Springs with 20mm spacers.

Let the debate beguin. I NEED HELP DECIDING AND WHY!

Are star specs out of your price range?

trick3d · 09-17-2012, 09:49 PM

I would choose one of the following:
1. Dunlop Starspecs
2. Hankook RS-3
3. Pilot Super Sport

Dont take offense but this has been covered more times than St Peters Basilica has seen a robe. The fact that you didnt search first makes me feel that your time is much more valuable than ours and that makes me feel offended.

DZ101's are better than NT-05's

I have had both of them

I have the dz101 and I can't complain. Bought them because of treadwear is 300 better than the stockers at 180 .I wanted the starspecs but they would wear off pretty fast

I put a set of star specs on my car this summer, and so far I love them. I've never had NT05s, but I know people who have, and from a performance standpoint, they like star specs much more.

And I'm referring to Star Specs, not DZ101s

I'm not fond of my NT-05s. I'll be going back to Neova AD08s.

lol another vote for NT05's being mediocre

anyone who thinks the NT05 is worth buying hasn't driven a proper performance tire. EvoM has had like 3-4 threads over this mediocre tire in the past 2 weeks, and the defenders have nothing but completely wrong or idiotic claims/comparisions

RS3, Star Spec, or AD08 (haven't tried the AD08 because of price)

and the forum would love an Eyler quality post/story/update on your review of these overrated tires

I just bought NT05's, i had the DZ101 and didnt like them. I guess will see how i like the NT05's.
