I would say they are as slow as NT01, since NT01 are slow. but they are about the same. Even if they were a few tenths slower it would still be worth it for the advantages.

I'm sure they'll be fast for me, I've only ran mpss and rt615 so the deal seemed worth it to me

Bruh the NT01 should be gone by now. I can’t believe it’s still in existence. I think people will soon let it die…

People who were born when the NT01 was introduced (2006) are now 16 years old and driving. It sure has had a long production run.

I payed 1354 shipped for 295/30’s on trackdaytire with one of the many discount codes on the web. Regardless, are you factoring in life? You can’t base everything on up front cost. Your call, but the NT01 has always been overhyped in my opinion. I remember when I first started using them, people talked about how great they were…all lies lol. Aside from consistency and heat tolerance, they are meh.

Aside from those two very important things for a track tire.

I hear ya, but they aren’t the only tire with those two qualities.

That seems to be the best price. Just got some.

There's so much NT01 hate. Instead of being vague help us "slow" drivers out and suggest a better HDPE 18" tire that can last 20-25 min sessions, wear very well and with plenty of grip.

The 200 TW class tires are for people who want to drive to and from the track. If you have a set of spare wheels there doesn't seem to be many options in the DOT legal category.

I already made a suggestion - Conti Force.

That tire doesn't seem to be faster or as fast as the NT01 based on reviews.

How would you rate the Conti Force's pace? Much faster than RS4s, slightly slower than NT01s?

The 295 conti force is about equal to the 275 NT01 in the dry and in heat tolerance, and is very clearly better in every other aspect.
