I don't care about wet weather or cold temperature performance, noise, or wear, but I don't want a tire that requires much temperature to provide good performance on the street. The RE-71 is 'on' immediately, but @ CSG Mike thought it may heat cycle out before it wears out. Based on your experience and my priorities, do you think the NT-01 is decent daily driver tire for a no-compromise highly modded warm weather extreme road toy? |
Both of the above mentioned tires require heat to grip at their peak. If you think the RE71R is immediately grippy, you're in for a shock when you experience them warmed up.
Start slow and always give BOTH tires a few mi nutes to warm up when driving in a spirited manner.
If you want a shorter warmup time, use the Maxxis RC1.
