## Description

The NT01 is a D.O.T.-compliant dry competition radial designed with the weekend road racer in mind. The compound was developed to provide the best balance of traction, consistency, heat cycle performance and longevity. The sidewall construction* is optimized for sharp steering response, accurate feedback and increased driver confidence. For those that demand maximum dry performance, the NT01 can be shaved from 6/32 of an inch down to 3/32 of an inch to reveal a slick with two circumferential grooves. The NT01 delivers fast and consistent lap times for both the professional road-racer and the track-day enthusiast.

Review: NT01's are easily the most forgiving R-Comp tire - NT01's are easily the most forgiving R-Comp tire. It allows you to get a great deal of slip angle going before it complains. I am running these on a 3700lb Audi, so they have had their work cut out for them, and always lived up to the task. These don't get greasy at all and you can run them all the way to the cords without any loss in grip. A much better enthusiast tire compared to Toyo R888 or RA1.
Review: Decent delivery time and great tires - Nt01.... Great tires!!!! got them pretty quickly
