Anyone try the Nitto NT-01 tire?

[GGray]

I just ordered a set for my S50 car to use at Road Atlanta just curious if anyone has tried them out.

I've run them. Pretty comprarable to the R888, I still prefer the RA1s.

I'm still fighting with trying to find the right pressures for them.

From what I've heard, they use a very similar compound to the RA-1, but have bigger blocks so you get less tread block squirm which = less heat, better wear, more grip etc. Also, the sidewalls are stiffer then the RA-1's.

A friend of mine uses them on a built SN95 Cobra. I've driven the car... the tires are great.

I have dried out RA1s on my 2002 racecar and will switch to Nittos as the R888 is wider than the Ra1s and won't fit anymore under my fenders...

I run them. And really like them.

I love these tires. My next set of race wheels will come with these attached.

I run them in 225/45 on 15x8s. Love em. Tons of grip, very predictable breakaway (my first r-compounds). And they're actually very sticky on wet roads, though I would not want to hit a deep puddle at speed.

Really? I have not had a chance to see how they do in the damp, that is good knowledge.

i've have used 235/40/17 nt-01s, and they are awesome tires. Much better than the kook rss z211 tires I tried before them. The Nt-01s last a good while too.

I've run 3 sprint races and 100+ track miles on this set of nt01's, flipping them from inside-in to inside-out to wear them good...I've been using them on the SM car i'm using for licensing. They are pretty wasted by the, but they still got rubber which is what i needed, and decent grip.

Ill be using a set of r888s tommorow on that car.

wonder how those are gonna be

At full tread they're fine in damp & light rain conditions. They're not fine in standing water situations.
