Is the writeup on the NT01 missing? I see it in a few spots, but it wasn’t pulled into it’s own header.
Also here for the NT01 results..?
Sorry guys! The team just updated the article–hit refresh and you should see NT01 data.
The difference in pace between the RR and NT01 is great to see in as controlled an environment as realistically possible.

Geez, a full second between the Toyo RR and the NT01. I’m almost done with the NT01’s I current have, I need to see if the Toyo’s are made in the sizes I need…
I have used many sets of R888Rs for HPDE the last few years…last two events I used Yokohama A052s which were a few tenths under three seconds faster than previous bests at both WG and VIR.
Maybe time to test the Super 200s against the supposedly faster tires.

What exactly are you asking for here?
The Super 200 pointy end is a 3-way tie between A052, RE71-RS and CRS V2…each able to produce similar single lap TT pace, but with a range of different personalities and heat characteristics.
The only thing faster are certain r-comps (A7, R7, A055) and a pair of 100-tw tires (GY SC3R and Trofeo R).
All of this is reflected under the “Pace” column in the chart here: https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/articles/track-tire-buyers-guide/

What about the Michelin Cup 2 Rs? Or are those too limited in size availability to be able to compare?

Yes. Not to mention the OE-specific versions. Much like the Trofeo R, in that regard.

So in the scheme of a DE tire, where I’m looking for something that’ll wear well am I better off with a super 200tw tire like the A052 or RE71RS, or something like the Toyo RR? I know that’s the fine line between stickiness for optimal lap times and durability/consistency
