Nitto Tires ?

Has anyone heard or experienced anything about these tires.
How do you think it compares to Michelin?

The Nitto NT-01 are great tires for the street and track (road course). They are about $300 a piece for 315/30/18, and they last around 8k-10k miles. I will buy this tires again soon.

i had them but not a 911. when new and not shaved the scream way before reaching their limit. they become quiter as they wear out. they have good grip and feedback and they last. grip does not fall off with wear.

I had some Niitos years ago on a 911 ....they were always Lumpy (out of round ) could never get them balanced well.

The company and dealer said they were within tolerance.. My tolerance is different than theirs especially on a Pcar.

They may be better now; but I never have that problem with Michelins.

I have nitttos nt01s and have used them on the street and track. I think these tires are great. they come up to heat quicky and were very predictable at the track. maybe not as fast as the hoosiers but not much of a performance drop off at all comparing them to the hoosiers. I run these on my stock 18"wheels 235f&315r I have a 03 996tt with suspension mods. I drive them to and from the track.
