at 9:26 in the vid:
ZII: 56.43
RS3: 56.9
Rival: 57.1
RT615K: 57.36
PSS: 57.79
RE-11: 57.98
NT05: 59.37

Maybe the NT05's hold up to heat better at the track (tread pattern would suggest that), but for initial grip, which is probably a lot more meaningful for street usage, they don't appear to be all that great compared to others.
I'm sorry, what happened in that video. All I saw was a MILF
