I've got the NT05 on my car now. They grip really well and give pretty good feedback. But I'm comparing to the stock tires. I've never owned another Summer tire.

I've got the hancooks and absolutely love them. I have yet to make the ASC light come on in the dry which used to be a normal occurance with the Advans. Same in the rain. For the money I don't think you can go wrong.

What size tires you going to get for those 18x9 wheels? do you just need to roll the fenders and they will fit?

I'll throw maxxis MAZ1 in there. Grest performing summer tire with excellent water funneling ability. Better than my old kumho MXs and Falken FK452.
I havent read up enough about the star specs but i thought they placed low on a c&d test? I have the article saved at home.

^^ They placed first http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/...mparison_tests
This is what I based my purchase of the Ventus V12s off and like I said I couldn't be happier.
