NT05 or PZero?

I'm just wondering which one will offer more grip in the dry? I usually rag on the PZero but I've never driven on an NT05 and for the sizes I'm looking in they are really the only 2 options, thanks in advance, I look forward to hearing what you guys have to say!

If those are my only two choices, NT-05, they have much better grip than PZero's. They also won't last as long, as they start with less tread depth.

Unfortunately they are the only choices, but thank you for the info! What sort of mileage can one expect out of NT05s?

Depends how hard you drive on them, but they are likely a 10,000 mile or less tire, if you autox or track the tires, you can anticipate less life...they start out with less tread depth than a regular tire, so they will not last as long as the PZero.

Front/Rear: 275/40R20, 315/35R20 (They're actually for an X5 M but I figured I would ask on here because I know a lot of guys on here are willing to help out a fellow enthusiast even on a non GM ride)

That's alright, thank you very much!
