if you can deal with the noise on the street, there is no better DE tire in my mind than the Nitto Nt01

Thanks I don't think I want to to make 500 mile trips to VIR and Mt. Tremblant on really noisy tires, and I need to be able to drive on highways in the rain.

One solution could be scoring a second set of wheels :-)

I have a second set of wheels (actually now a 3rd set since I also have a set of 17s) but a trailer isn't in the cards. I'll use the second set of 18 inch wheels for HPDEs including driving to and from the track.

NT01's are great tires for DE, but they ain't 200TW
