nitto nt-01
wondering if anyone has gotten these yet? any driving impressions?
road race, auto-x, spirited driving? how do they compare to rt215 or rt615 or other street tires youve used!

The NT-01 is supposed to be a track tire (R compound). The Falkens are street tires, although in most respects - like grip, treadlife, etc - their behavior is somewhere in between street tires and track tires.
I'd be interested in hearing experiences from anyone who is using them, and how they compare with other track tires...

The NT-01's are a R-compound DOT race tire with similar grip to Toyo RA1's. They don't feel quite as good as RA1's but they are pretty close. Those Falkens you listed are street tires and don't have the the grip of the NT-01's.

what do you mean feel? they dont stick as good? they are not as predictable?
yes i realize the falkens are street tires and dotn stick as well as a race tire. but i consider nt-1 and the ra1 as something u COULD drive on the street if the car doesnt see many street miles.
