I just installed Nitto Nt05's yesterday. Not much testing done on them yet.

The car came with Nankang Chinese BullS---. I replaced the rears after 5500 miles with Dunlop Star Specs. Those also lasted about 5500 miles. This is from slightly spirited street driving, no burnouts no track time. This time I replaced all 4 and am excited to get them out on the road.

They definitely look bad ass...

Prepare yourself for a shock. I have a set of NT-05 on the rear. The are melting away like butter and are nearly gone in 3k street miles. Grip is very respectable though.
