Good improvements from years past...

Switched up to the Nitto NT05 this year. In previous years I had been using the Ecsta XS and NT555. The NT05 proved itself superior today. I really liked the XS when they came out originally, but they had a "sweet spot" that was too short. Only a few good events on them, but once worn down, they quickly became useless.

The XS is a good tire and I would still use it again, but the NT05 has proven to be more controllable and predictable, not to mention its not nearly as loud as the XS was on highway speeds.

Here's a video from an event held earlier today. So far I'm pleased with the setup, just need my alignment worked out and front dampers setup better. Maybe a larger rear sway..
