Again, I can only get 4 dry days out of NT-01s, RE71Rs, and R7s. I really think these are the best bang for the buck HPDE tire. NT-01s might be up to one second faster.

I have to say that I'm itching for a stickier tire, but IMHO these are much better bang for the buck than NT-01s. It will be interesting to see how much faster I am on stickier tires. I'm looking for DHs or BFG R1s next, and I'll post an update after the BMW event in early May.

Have you looked at the 595 RS-RR or Rival S/1.5? The 595s seem to be well-liked for their value, but aren't the fastest tire in their class. The Rival is a 200-cheater, as I understand it.
