NITTO's.... nt05r or nt555r?

I'm getting mixed reviews on these tires on which one actually gives more traction. I was planning on doing 315/35r17 nt05r's on the rear ans 275/40r17 nt555r's on the front. But after reading the reviews I'm wondering if its best to do nt555r's all the way around. Anyone run nt05r's and prefer them over the nt555r's?

Honestly, I can't comment of the nt05's bc I haven't used them but I do have the nt555's and they are a great tire imo. Great dry traction, very predictable and stable through the curves and the wet traction is very good as well. That being said, I would love to get a set of the nt05's to compare.

Are you going with the drag radial in the rear with the nt555's? Just curious on that one.
