I'm not trying to change any minds here, just echoing things I've heard.

If it's working for people, awesome. I'm glad those reports were incorrect.

i had nt05's on my e46 325. they were ok when new, but the grip falls off as they wear. they don't get better as they become more "slick." no good in the cold, either. they have that thick band of rubber in the center, but it is a little deceiving, since its not super sticky.

they weren't terrible, but there are better choices out there. i probably wouldn't put them on my M.

Luckily I won't be daily driving on them so not worried about the cold or rain. I figured they were worth a shot and didn't cost a fortune.

Sorry didn't mean to crash the NT-01 thread, was just sharing that I landed the good deal lol

no biggie. let us know how you like them. maybe they are improved since i last had them (about three years ago) or you have a lower tread wear rating (stickier). i'm still interested to read a review.

I plan to do a review after a few days of running on them. I have never tracked or Auto Xed a car before so its all new to me. My only experience is road racing motorcycles.

Just got mine delivered. Storing in my home office (I can already smell the tire compound.... going to get cancer from this I'm sure):

nholmes · 03-08-2016, 04:35 PM

Same.

SYT_Shadow · 03-08-2016, 04:37 PM

Lucky guys! Mine are backordered

nholmes · 03-08-2016, 04:38 PM

Fortunately I have two sets of almost new RS3s hehe

No track days until May so hopefully I'll have them on time

redpriest · 03-08-2016, 04:46 PM

I was even thinking of getting another 4, but I would have felt bad given how fast it sold out.

Then you could have sold them to me for $824 and made $20 profit.

nholmes · 03-08-2016, 04:56 PM

lol

///Mobbin · 03-08-2016, 05:38 PM

beyondM · 03-08-2016, 09:04 PM

nholmes · 03-09-2016, 10:01 AM

I was only able to put in the code when I used PayPal as the payment option. I canceled the order I did with direct CC from eBay.

Tires are mounted. Got these tire paint pens from eBay and decided to give it a try. Came out pretty good.

Might have to do this at least once to pretend I'm a real race car driver.
