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?

Like mike said they both require a warm up for peak performance. Even when they are not fully warmed up I am very happy with them especially in the long sweeping high speed corners on the highway. I also find them to be very easy to drive with and they are forgiving in my experience. That being said I think they may be starting to heat cycle as the first bit of tread went really fast and now the last bit is taking much longer to wear. I don't drive them to the absolute limit anyways so for my DD they still work fine and provide more then enough grip for what I do. This year I might try the Pilot cup sport 2's as they seem promising for a street tire.
