Has anyone tried this tire from Nitto? I have never liked their tires, but this one might be ok?

Here is a comparo to Toyo RA1 and Pirelli Corsa. Looks like its a decent tire similar to Yokohama DOT rubber.

Wonder how the V710 or A3S05 would hold up in comparison to NT01 on the track? The Nitto looks like a better track alternative to the RA1. |

I do know that the RA-1 continues to have good grip till the cords show. it stands up to alot of abuse. Probably comperable. |

Probably a really good tire. Seems they like to market to the ricer crowd. Can't say I ever seen anyone win anything on a nitto tire.
