NT05 to Evo K110.
They way better for my DD. Right now have about 6k miles on them with alot of tread left.
Performance:
K110 have better response on intial turn in but do lack the overall grip. I would say about 10-15% less grip.
Rain:
K110 are more friendly in the wet. Tread depth helps alot.
Durability:
Once the K110 get hot they do tend to feather a bit more than the NT05 but dont chunk when over driven. Seem to like a little more tire pressure than NT05 and cant take over abuse for long. They do cool off quick once over driven (better than NT05) but again these are all season tires.
For DD they are lasting alot longer than the stock Advans but thats not saying much.
*I will buy another set once these are gone and recommend them*

Sorry to be the one negative guy but I had these on my previous car and they were absolute garbage. They wear out very fast, they are soft, felt imprecise and in my opinion did not grip very well. Granted it was an entirely different car(07 Si) which had a stock camber of -1.5 rear, 0.0 front but they were continually getting chewed up and showing fast signs of wear(car was not dropped, was no toe-in, no worn suspension parts). The worst part about it is I work from home, so it's not as if I'm putting 40 miles per day on them either. The local PepBoys where I had purchased them ended up replacing 2 of the 4 for free due to "faulty tires." Just my experience, which does not mean they are terrible, but I would never buy them again.
