Nitto
NT-01 Competition Radial

Nitto's latest, the NT-01 competition tire, is a D.O.T. approved race radial with an asymmetrical, non-directional tread pattern. This tread pattern isoptimized for one purpose, and one purpose only: extreme cornering grip in dry racing conditions. Beginning with a tread depth of 6/32-inch, the NT-01 can be shaved to 3/32-inch to reveal a "slick" tread surface with two circumferential grooves. The NT-01 features a racing inspired tread compound formulated for on-track performance to deliver extreme cornering power for fast and consistent lap times. The NT-01 will be available in sizes ranging from 14-inch to 18-inch applications.

I like Nittos!! I've had my 18" Nitto NT555's for over 25k miles and there is still massive tread left! I've tried Toyo Proxies, and Yoko parada's 1 and 2, and liked the Nittos best.

If I had a sick 240, these would be on there!!

i wonder how they'll stack up against the azenis st-615....those seem to be the tire of choice at this point.

They will kick the shit out of the Azenis :)

Those bad boys are on par with V710s I would imagine.
