R888, RA1, NT01 all use the same rubber compound. Carcas is different.

NT01>RA1>R888 on the '95M3 I raced in BMW club racing. I raced it in IStock and then, after I blew the motor, moved to JP w/a 2.8 (iron block) up front. 3175lbs dry in Istock to 2990 wet w/driver in JP. NT01's were best. I always ran my fastest laps as the tires corded unless I'd grossly overheated them (turn very blue). NT01s need far less camber to be effective than the RA1s.
