I can't say that any of those results surprise me. I do find their choice of comparators rather odd though, and I also find it funny that they chose the Michelin PS2 as their "benchmark" when it's a 5+ year-old, vastly overpriced tire to begin with... (dunno)
What I really want to see is a comparison test between the Nitto NT-05 and tires like the Kumho XS, Dunlop Star Specs, and Bridgestone RE-11s....Tirerack has the latter 3 in a test together, but they're missing the NT-05s...
