Quote:Sorry to burst the bubble on the NT-01's... but I was not that impressed. My MPSCs stuck much better (once up to temp) and lasted more than 50 heat cycles before going off. Yeah, the MPSCs cost a bit more, but the performance and life-span was amazing. My NT-01's lost almost 50% of their tread in one weekend (granted it was Jefferson) and then caused my wreck at the Glen (okay, maybe it wasn't the tires, but I'm superstitious and won't buy them again).I couldn't agree with you more... My Nitto's have not held up well at all. I've worn out the outer edges of the tires in just two weekends, they are noisy as all get out and the MPSC's are FAR superior to anything else I've been on. They wear like IRON and their grip is phenomenal. The MPSC's seem to heat up just fine and the grip is amazing when they do. I won't buy Nitto's again either - they made it easy too because they don't have the 996 Porsche 18 standard sizes 225/40 or 285/30.
