I've driven back to back on R888's and NT01's on a 2500lbs car with driver. The feedback you get from the R888's is about the best you could hope for, really good for a new driver/racer. The tires are LOUD, so you always know where the limit is generally. R888's also wear like iron, even a bit better than the NT01's. NT01's are indeed about half a second quicker than the R888's, however on a road race car where every lap is 10/10ths, even short sessions (15-20 minutes HARD) I ran into chunking issues that completely destroyed the tire. Granted this was on a FWD application with limited front camber, but when Nitto told me to eat d1cks when looking to replacing a chunked tire that had clearly failed, I'll never buy one of their products again, and do not recommend them for competitive race use.


R888's will likely be better in the rain/street driving as well over the NT01's.
