Nitto NT05, Invo, or Potenza RE-11's...
What ya guys think? Or do you have any other alternatives to a better tire for a similar price? I was leaning towards the NT05's. Sharing personal experience is a plus. Thanks in advance.

Daily Driving + Rain = Invo...
Mostly Track Days = Nitto NT05
Some DD and AutoX = RE11's...But they are a waste of money unless you compete nationally and for contingency money...The Dunlop Star Specs as mentioned above....Or Kumho XS will be just as good... And for about 50 bucks cheaper a tire...
Oh and to answer Hockey's question. I have 265/35/18 star specs and 275/35/18 NT05's both that have been used on Track and AutoCross duty. Star specs are much better on autocross, they heat up quicker, NT05's last longer on track and don't overheat as much like the Star Spec's do.
NT05's suck in the wet, Star Specs/RE-11's are better in wet, Toyo R1R is the choice for wet...
