They just came out not to long ago. They are definitely improved over the 555RII? There is a guy on the digitalcorvettes forum making 600rwhp that uses them and has been through 2 sets as he races allot and runs in mountain roads allot.

Then they should hold on a dead launch at the track then.

Not, They are road racing tires. You need to hook up, use MT DR's, as they seem tobe the best for a radial.

When I bought my 555Rs I was doing a little research on the Nitto site, and the NT-01 have a slightly stiffer sidewall and yes, they are designed for going on a 'twisty' course not for launching on a strip.
