The RR is more durable and gets to about 2-3 seconds off the fastest pace.
NT01s - they are consistent until corded. Usually run a .5 sec to 1 sec faster lap on the first day.
This is my 04 M3 that is 2630lbs dry…I have never corded an RR. Rarely do I cord an NT01. They both eventually heat cycle out after 8 days and become pretty bad.

Interesting - thanks for sharing.
I've found the RR to be faster, by only by ~0.5 seconds in my experience. But, different car and track compared to your test so I'm sure it can vary.
I suppose the one thing I should note is I always put 1 initial heat cycle on the tire, and let it sit for at least 24 hrs before running it again. Do you do the same, or just run them from new? Perhaps that plays a part in the discrepancy as well.
