Are Nitto NT05s closer to Michelin 4S tires or Cup 2s?

[Dragster]

Thinking about picking up the SVE R350s from LMR that come with the NT05s, but I don't have any experience with Nitto. The tires look pretty aggressive, but obviously looks can be deceiving. Does anyone know what category these tires would fall in to, or what their closest counterparts would be? I had previously been looking at Michelins--is the NT05 closer to the 4S (or Super Sports) or the Cup 2 tires?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Via treadwear only they're closer to the cup 2, but the PS4S will outperform them. NT01 are close to the Cup 2.

The NT05 is literally from 2009. Tire tech has come a long way.

Good budget tire, but others mentioned not as good as the more expensive Michelin options.
