Okay, but an NT01 isn't a 200TW tire, it's 100. I get that some of these 200s are probably closer to 100 though. I dunno, I'd still just go for an RR. They wear pretty well and are a fast tire, plus quite cheap. My two cents.

Picked up my splitter today. Sadly the wing is still 6 weeks out so this will have to wait to go on the car. Probably April, but gives me some time to test the current set up in March.
For reference that's a 66" bathtub in that box.

In the last year and a half I've gone from re71r's to ns2r's to ar1's to nt01's and I can say the nittos are still the best bang for the buck out there and also the fastest tire I ran (with the ar1's coming at a close second although it heat cycled out faster).
People give nt01's grief but surprisingly they're still great!

NT01s are still a great bang for the buck as are Toyo RR - tried real hard to destroy a set of RR I bought with a set of wheels, it was a challenge |

Dude I ordered Tuesday Afternoon 1pm, they were on my doorstep Wednesday 2pm. Turn14 distribution is handling the drop-ship for a lot of items I've ordered recently. They have a warehouse in Nevada which makes it awesome for me in CA.

Sadly my friends review of them were yes, they're fast but wear too quickly. The last year I prolly went to 16 days at the track and upwards of 4-6 hours of track time a day. I need tires that last!! 😂

I'm also partial to the Toyo because there's contingency available from NASA, plus sponsorship discounts.

This treadwear rating shit is all a scam anyways. The fast 200tw seem to be like what a 60tw should be.

None of the other brands had this issue. Any ideas of what might have caused this?

Ah, yes, delamination.
Heat cycling them (like, for real, doing a scrub-only 3-4 laps and coming in and letting them sit) can help. But it's the seam where the tread cap was joined together at the factory and sometimes it opens back up on these track tires. Kumho had a big faff with the V710 on this a long time ago

It's a tread splice and is normal. My RRs sometimes do it. Even my Rival S did it.

RR mounting and swapping guidelines are indeed strange. I've rotated them wherever to even out wear over the past 2 season without issue. Not nessicarily advising it, just putting it out there..

Yeah I figured it was delamination. It was concerning based upon that the other brands had zero issues.
I'm more of a send and forget kinda driver. The tough part about getting that first heat cycle in is that you'd have to have some spares around which I don't have the luxury of due to my car having a cage installed. I'd love to try the ar1's again but this gives me a small hesitation of buying them again despite their quick results of being a fast tire

To our northern brothers and sisters - please keep this winter crap to yourselves! Supposed to get down to 3* Monday - 3 freaking degrees!!! That is just dumb. We put up with +100* and 700% humidity all summer so that we don’t have to deal with winter! And now this??? Freaking city will shut down until at least Wednesday now; roads will be closed all over the place. If you do drive you will automatically be hit by 12 people claiming they hit ice patches - before you even get to the end of your street! And that is before the ice even gets here! Seriously, this is just dumb At least its supposed to get back to 70 a few days after - proper winter weather.

The Toyo Mounting Direction Style Guide strikes me as an "uh oh we better release a setup guide or we're going to be stuck with a tire nobody will buy"
