Customer Reviews
I tried these after continuously running through R888R’s in about 3K and am really impressed. Wear seems to minimal, they’re not very noisy and are a comfortable tire on the road. The Triple 8’s do stick a little better but they are more comparable to the NT01. I recommend the tires for sure.
Great performance tire but not recommended for all weather driving. Good traction and holds air pressure well. Recommend for summer performance or track use more tha seasonal driving. I know how to drive in all conditions and raced SCCA then go for it. Otherwise, go fo a good all season tire if you don't drive spiritually.
