do the NT0s or the 555's have that tread rating. either way ive had mine on for about 15-20k daily driving with probably 10-12 autox's and 5-6 hard track days (at least 2 hours of on track driving each time). and ive still got a nice bit of tread left. not too shabby

meh its up to you. if your only going to the track a couple times a year, get the one with the higher tread wear which i assume is the 555's. unless you really really want that extra grip then get the nt05's. but idk what kind of driving experience you have but if you dont have a ton of seat time then you might not be even pushing the car to its limit, so the extra grip would be more of a crutch rather than an advantage if that makes sense

I'd go with nitto but I would go to their website and choose which one is best suited for you. If its a daily driver I'd go with the nitto555's
