Tire paint pens? Those look great, actually.

Wow! That looks good! Care to link to the pens you used?

Yea got these on eBay for like 3 bucks each. Shipped from Delaware. Not sure how they would hold up. Took about 10 mins each tire. Here's the link: https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/151888596099

I finally received my fourth tire yesterday. I have to say that the Discount Tire Direct customer service is very good. They didn't ask many questions, but focused on getting my final tire to me. I'm strongly considering trying out the Toyo RRs next time.

I received all four as well!

I'm always impressed to see how wide tires look when you hold them in your hands

Let us know how they hold up. It looks pretty cool!

It appears eBay is back having the sale til tomorrow. 800 bucks shipped for 4 tires? Does this sound right?

How are the sidewalls on the nt01's? How many track days will these last me?

Just get a set and try them. This is the cheapest you'll find them. How long they last varies, but they have a 100 tread rating. Obviously many people on here dig them.

You'll need to run at least -2.5 (prefer -3.0) degrees of camber up front or your outer edges will cord within a few days. Otherwise, 6-10 track days assuming that you're running 4 sessions per day. So far, one of the best tires to walk the line between grip and durability. I like to run them 34-36 psi hot.

Yeah I run -2.7 on my track alignment. May have to run more because my outer edges on my RS3's were pretty eaten up.

They came! It feels like Christmas!

Hilarious. I just picked up another 2, because why not?? I can't get the last 2 with the discount, they won't let me apply the code again.

It requires touch up routinely. Chips a bit with wheel cleaning and driving. Been doing this on my slicks for couple years.

Had to have a buddy order two for me.

SYT_Shadow · 03-15-2016, 06:03 PM

You guys make me want to buy more!

Downshift22 · 03-15-2016, 10:00 PM

Ordered 8 tires as well to hold me over for a bit

Was tempted to switch to something more aggressive but can't beat the savings and longevity here.

I can confirm it only lets you use the code 3 times. Like Roast I had a friend pick up the last 2 for me.

Stick with it. If you go slick it's hard to back down. Nt01s are great.

beyondM · 03-19-2016, 07:48 PM

Love these tires. Huge step up from rs3.

nholmes · 03-21-2016, 10:20 AM

Curious to see how many of my mistakes these tires will mask like the Hankook TDs did when I ran them.

Judging by my spin on Saturday, not many lol. They give a nice screech before they go too.
