Btw: what's the shelf-life of these A6 and R6 tires? 1, 2, 3 years? And, how should they be stored when not in use? ie: in the garage (never outside) and also covered in towels or trashbags. Just asking because I read once upon a quick research, that they tend to dry, dry rot and crack if they are more than 2-3 years old in storage and should be thrown away. Idk if that's true though. If they really do have a super short shelf life, I may just opt out and just stick with street tires...as I don't really want to spend +1k on race tires just to find out they turned into dust after a year or two, after maybe taking an unforeseen/unexpected short break from racing and not using them for a little bit (I move around a lot).

Are those NT01s decent and considerably better than the usual PSS/Z2/RE11/RS3/AD08 street tires? Those look kind of street'y too and have a high wear rating of 100 just like street tires as well.
