Default Anyone run the nitto nt01's

I can get two brand new ones for 200$ but dont know if they are good. They seem like they would hook good. I just dont know anyone who has used them

They're an autocross/road course tire, not a drag tire..

Would they be ok for a daily driver? I autox and my tired on the back dont hook so are wearing pretty fast. NT01 look pretty good for an all weather(sun and rain only for me) tire

my girlfriends old LT1 was putting down well over 300 rwhp/tq and from a 2600 launch they did not spin, they were near bald at the time as well

again........NOT a drag tire, and youll be lucky to get a year out of them. they are NOT for the rain either. trust me. if you use them through a winter where it ever gets below 50, theyll harden up and turn into cue *****. you might get 10K miles out of them. just get a regular tire or drag radial, and leave purpose built tires for the purpose they were built for.

I run them on my car, they are not a Drag tire or a good daily driver tire as stated by everyone else.. They are specifically designed for Road Racing/Auto X and that's all they should be used for. My car maybe see's 1k miles a year. I did have another set of rims but sold them and just put the NT01's on my main set of 17" rims for Road Courses.. I trailer the car to the track so no mileage gets put on the tires.

they arent a drag tire, but i was damn impressed with them, did a lot of street racing with mine. as for the rain, i got caught in a storm in missouri and i was fine, guess it comes down to the driver tho.
