Nitto NT05: what the numbers tell you
A UTQG of 200 is short-life by design. This is a high-grip compound that trades wear life for grip. Expect 15,000-25,000 miles of useful tread on a daily-driven vehicle. No mileage warranty is published for this tire, which is typical for performance summer and track-day rubber where the manufacturer doesn't make wear-life claims.
Cabin noise data for this tire is not published by the manufacturer. As a general tire built for the passenger segment, the NT05 is positioned against direct rivals within the same category. Comparing it to a tire in a different category (e.g. summer vs all-season) makes the spec sheet misleading because the design targets are not the same.
