SO i put about 100 more miles on the nt-05s today.

Super grippy and sticky, I can pick up change off the road with them, lol.
2 things I found out... They are incredibly loud, at 80mph with the windows up they drown out my straight pipe and the radio... but that doesnt bother me because I have my windows 99% of the time.

just as I expected, they totally suck in the rain. The compound turns to bricks when cold, not to mention due to the continuous center rib as well as the interlocked shoulder blocks the tire evacuates little to no water.

On damp streets at speeds of 45 and under its not bad, just dont have any grip while making sharp turns or accelerating. In driving rain with standing water, give it up... car ice skates everywhere and has 0 grip. I was expecting this when I got the tires, so it doesnt bug me. Gives me a reason to keep miles low when the weather is bad by driving my truck. Just wanted to see what they were like in the rain.... I found out quick
