The Nitto NT-01's are a great tire. I have used 6-8 sets over the past 18 months. Since the NT-01 is an R-compound tire, they have incredible dry grip. At half-wear the tread pattern is gone and there are left with only two circumferential grooves on what would otherwise be a full slick. Avoid rain at all costs! I drove home from a track day in the rain at 45mph to avoid hydroplaning. As expected, their life is fast but not particularly long, especially if you are driving hard. The NT-01's don't heat cycle out like a lot of other R-compound tires (Toyo R888's, I am talking about you) so you can drive them until they cord and they will still have reasonably good grip. The NT-01 is the best buy in an R-compound tire that you'll find.
