Star Spec is the best DD tire made.
NT05 is a better street/track tire imo and cheaper than everything else.
Honestly I dont think you'll notice too much of a difference between the two when using them as front tires for drifting. They'll offer pretty much the same grip.
Nitto came out with an NT05R which is a drag radial so dont confuse the two.
I will try the Star Specs after I try the NT05s
Im reading mixed signals on the good/bad in the rain on other websites and on here lol. As long as they're better than the RT615s I'll be thrilled.
Im excited to see how they are for myself.
Thanks you guys
