Fwiw - i have about 15 sessions on my 265/35/18 FZ201's (on 9.5's) and i am significantly slower than almost corded NT01's. About 3 seconds around a 1:20 lap. Maybe they are heat cycled out, maybe it's due to the width but they just do not give me the same confidence that the NT01's did.
They sit funny on the wheel too. When i place the wheel/tire on the ground, the rim actually pokes past the tire edge, which i do not like. Maybe i will try a 285/30/18.
Here is a pic of the fz201's vs a 275/35 NT01. The 265/35/18 is much smaller in width and overall height.
