Huh? First, the NT-01 is an R compound track tire, which really doesn't compete with the RE-01R, which, while sticky, is still a street tire. Second, there's no reason to believe that the NT-01 would get discontinued, and if it did, it might just get replaced by a better track tire.

lol, glad you said it... I was going to reply to aztekef9 but i didn't know where to begin...

Additionally, the NT-01 is so similar to the RA-1 and R888 (if i'm not mistaken, it's the exact same compound) that if the NT01 did get discontinued, we'd only be missing out on the tread pattern (which is relatively unimportant in the world of R comps anyway, since there isn't much of a tread pattern left after a bit of use.)
