Quick review of Nitto NT-01 for track use

[CurtiSS 69]

Hello All,

I just did a great track day with the SoCal P-T gang, and tried the NT-01 tires (245/45-17's on 8" wheels). I have to say that the tires worked very well.

The Results:

1) No chunking.

2) I found the grip level quite a bit better than the 220 treadwear tires that I had.

3) They slide very predictably.

4) The grip is consistent though a whole session.

5) The tread wears out very fast. I am a 1/16" (1.5mm) from buzzing the tread off of all four after a single trackday. They become a semi slick after the tread is gone. I could maybe get 2 more days in the dry from them?

6) They could only be used in rain when they are brand new.

7) The price was resonable as well.

Regards
