I'm aware of the options, but looking for solid feedback from firsthand experience. I didn't think the NT01's were any better than the RE-71R or RE-11, they've been around quite a while. Have you actually used all of those tires on the track? What are your thoughts about how they compare to each other?

Also, really looking for feedback on R-Compounds like the Toyo R888 as well.


edit: Reading through the link, thanks...

edit 2: Looking a lot harder at the NT01's. I think the Maxxis RC-1's are out, as they might be a little too extreme and the car will see rain. I guess it comes down to how many track days I could get out of them. The RE-71R's wore down VERY fast.
If you write off the RC1 for rain use, you sh ould also write off the NT01. Those grooves won't do anything to evacuate water.

RA1 is your answer.
