Thanks

I have been running the NT01's for several years. Very pleased with them.

Don't know if this helps.

Those are full track day tire.
Are you square using the 285/35 all 4 or are you using
285/35 F
315/30 R

My guess is they are more expensive then the NT05.

I’m looking for baby steps. Working my way up the latter so to speak.

I'm square 285/35 on all four.

If you are looking for a street/track tire the supercars are pretty good also the PS4's have pretty good reviews.

I'll second the option for the Supercars. The original G2's were very capable. The new G3`s are a step above. Having used up 10 sets of G2's, I'll be switching to the G3`s next.

Thanks for the input.

I have a dedicated set of track wheels.

I don’t want to go to full track tires(100 treadwear) just yet. Their expensive and im still learning the car and tracks.

Plus im adding aero, seats, harness bar, HP etc.

Im currently looking at
Nittt NT05 - 200 treadwear
Goodyears G2- 220 treadwear i think
Federal Evoluzion F60 240 treadwear

Federals cheapest set at about $700 but 30 series
Goodyears knock is that You cant rotate/swap inside to outside
Nittos are not far behind at $900 in 35 series which id prefer. A little more forgiving hitting curbs/track imperfections.

Full track 100 treadwear is $1,500+

I'm still on my original set of NT01's. Like I said before I have been on them for several years. 3 years of tracking (I don't count last year) about 6-8 weekends (16-18 days) a year.

I have been told by the Corvette guys that they run them until cords are showing.

I went from Pirelli pzero to NT05'S late last summer. I only have 1 track day on them put it was a noticeable improvement.

I missed out on them. They had a few closeout sets from 2018/2019.

I think its like $1100 now.
