The NT01 is Nitto's Streetable Track & Competition tire designed for drivers of supercars, hot hatchbacks, and sportscars seeking race-inspired technology and track-level performance in a tire that can also be used on the street. The NT01 is D.O.T.-compliant and engineered to deliver the best balance of excellent dry grip, consistent lap times, and tread life to road racers and track day enthusiasts alike.
The Nitto NT01's specialized race compound is molded into a performance-focused, asymmetric tread pattern to deliver consistent grip, heat cycle performance, and heat resistance for optimal handling in dry conditions. A wide contact patch, with large continuous blocks, enhances accelerating, braking, and cornering.
When new at 6/32" of tread depth, the tire features two circumferential grooves and sweeping lateral grooves that enhance wet traction. Shaving to reduced tread depths increases direct contact with the track to improve dry traction. Lateral grooves begin to disappear at about 4/32" and only two central circumferential grooves remain when shaved or worn to 3/32" to deliver the best dry traction.
The Nitto NT01's internal construction consists of a 2-ply, high modulus rayon casing with a high turn-up for increased stability during braking, cornering, and straight line accelerating. The belt package contains 2 wide steel belts, and 1 nylon reinforcement cap ply for improved high-speed durability.

...These tires have excellent dry and wet grip...
I have had 2 sets of Michelin tires on this car, first set were great. Second set were disappointing in wet weather, even when new. These tires have excellent dry and wet grip. In addition, they have a very quiet ride, which was a nice surprise. I have only put about 1000 miles on them, but so far I am very pleased.

pleasantly surprised. Great tires for daily. Do well in temps close to freezing as well as in heat. No issues in the wet. Even, steady wear. No issues with balance. Relatively quiet tire. Will buy again if they last.

Great tire for the price. Was going to put snow tires on like I do every year then a surprise snow storm happened and had to get to work. Was nervous about the drive with the tires but they did great. I ran these tires all winter and never had an issue even on untouched country roads or a terribly maintained highway. Definitely recommend.

...I would get these again for a sedan as they had pretty good traction even in the snow...
These tires are pretty good for traction, on both my sedan or minivan They were very smooth on a sedan, a bit of road noise. On a minivan, the tires gave a more rough ride with a lot of road noise. even with fresh balancing and alignments, the vehicle has a constant vibration from these tires, not a smooth/comfortable ride. I would get these again for a sedan as they had pretty good traction even in the snow, but not for the minivan.

An EXCELLENT TIRE! Great value and performance. Have had these before and they wear EXCELLENT!!
Vehicle: 2012 Toyota Yaris 5-Door LE Miles Driven on Tires: 1,000 Driving Conditions: Mostly Highway Location: CHESTERTOWN, MD Driving Style: Average
Traction isn't the best, but breakaway is very predictable and it slips more under acceleration than braking. It doesn't have the sharpest feel, but it more than makes up for that with comfort. I'm interested in a set for my NA Miata, it's a very likeable tire, and if you get them on special it's very affordable. Treadwear is exceptional for a Sumi/Falken.
