Not so?

Not so.
The tire has to get to track operating temp which is around 200F for the NT-01. It will be hard to get the tires that hot just driving on the freeway (even in summer).
I time trialed on NT-01's for two years in my old Boxster (BSX build) before building my Spec Boxster. Drove to every event, time trialed, and drove home on those tires. I won 16 time trial events (fastest lap time) in BSR/SPB doing this.
I drove the NT-01's until they corded - they didn't heat cycle out like Toyo RR's do - fast until completely worn out. The NT-01's are great tires and simply can't be beat for grip, longevity, and price.
