Just replaced nto5rs with the MT et street ss and they do seem to feel a little better. I had zero problem blowing the tires off at 40 with the Nittos but the MTs stick better at a 40 hit. I have to be completely honest and say that the Nto5rs were on a 9.5" rim and the MTs are on a 10.5" so the contact patch is better. Just my 2 cents.
