and a little off topic, How were the nt05r in road race/ autox events? may be getting some 18x10s for track use and trying to figure out the right size and which tire to get.

The Nitto NT-05 tires are ... not what I would buy again. At the time it was one of the only 295/35/18 tires made in 200 Treadwear. We bought them for use in Optima Challenge events in 2012, which paid off with a win in the Autocross at the June Optima event and a 3rd overall for the weekend.
But nowadays I'd go with a 295/35/18 BFG Rival, which is a newer and better tire design. I got to drive on the Rivals vs several other tires at the January introduction of this tire at NOLA Motorsports part. You can read my Rival review write-up
here.
If you want advice on a track tire softer than 200 treadwear, just ask.
Thanks,
