I have the the 555's all around with 315's in the rear and they don't spin unless I'm really trying. I have not noticed a "mushy" sidewall at all like someone mentioned. They stick great around corners and are very predictable.
I just think the NT05's with a tread rating of 200 might be a little unnecessary for the street unless you auto-x frequently.

compared to my old tires i can feel the softness of the sidewalls in turns.. seems kind of like it wants to roll in tight turns, i have them at 36psi- im getting used to it now though

Ive got 555's on all 4 corners and they suck for traction and im a vert with stock gears right now. I can blow 2nd off and chirp 3rd with them and they are 285 in the rear...nuf said. Im switching to NT05's with the next set definitly. So i would definitly go with the 05's over the triple 5's.

P.s. Good call antiv6. lol

P.s. Andy13186, your tires are on backwards buddy. These are directional tread tires so i would switch sides with the wheels. It will tell you which way the rotation is on the tire and will say "right" or "left" right on there. Just wanted to let you know.
thats a pic of the front tire
