Re: Post pics of your ride!
I love them.For an R comp tire,I don't think you'll get much better.I believe you've driven on the RA1s?If so,the grip is basically the same,but they last longer and don't overheat as quickly.Basically,they're very close to the R888s also.
I plan on sticking with them until (if) anyhting better comes out.

Hell the multiple heat cycled half worn out r888's offered quite a bit of grip, so I can only imagine with a nice fresh set how much fun it'll be. I should be in intermediate now, so hopefully I can have some faster cars out there to play with. It's fun passsing people, but when the only car to compete with is a z06, it's kinda hard for a measily 110whp car to compete lol!

Yea, I went ahead and ordered a set. At under 500 for a complete set I don't think you can really go wrong. The R888's are like 650 or so shaved I think, not to mention SpecMiata has eaten the inventory of those and the RA1's up. From what I read the ra1 and the nt01 are the same compound, so I'd expect to be very happy with them.

Don't get your hopes up about intermediate-most of the guys are just as slow,and just as reluctant to give the point-by to our cars.
