So my NT05's arrived and I now have a stack of tires sitting in my house, love it!

Unfortunately they sent the 200 treadwear 275's by mistake but were quick to provide a return shipping label and estimate when the replacements would ship. This was actually nice though as I had the chance to compare the two compounds side by side. The 140 treadwear tires are slightly softer when pushing hard on them and they also have a shinier finish and smoother texture (perhaps that's unrelated, not sure). Anyway, the compounds do appear to have some differences as one would expect. I also emailed Nitto to see if they might comment on the differences, we'll see.
