NT01 vs RE070A vs Re050A
 
its time to change the tires again. originally was going to get stock RE050A's.. but then someone mentioned that nt01's (Z) are cheaper *they are? :) * but life of these tires, how long have they been lasting you? anyone tried the RE070A's

Sorry, Wendy, I do not know about the other ones......I just put RE050s back on, since I know them and their limits, and really like them.

Damn, new tires are sooo much quieter.. :thumbup: :thumbup:

yea, i REALLY like the RE050s.; just the other half is saying how sweet the nt01's are and if they're cheaper... with more grip... BUT. if they'll last 10k then forget it :X

:iagree:

If you replace them twice as often, they are no longer cheaper... :p

i have had re50's and re70's. the re070's have noticable more grip and are my favorite right now

Well the NT01 have 100 treadwear. Theyre R-compounds so I'd say 8000 miles if you're lucky.

I've gotten 10k miles + 2 track days on my RE070s. Here's the condition they're in now

Im gonna squeeze out one more track day off of the rears before I toss em for R888s

imo nt01s are overkill for the street. id suggest looking into re01r, from my experience they last a bit longer than re070 and are a little cheaper. in terms of overall grip id say the re070 are a little stickier at optimal temps but i feel that they tend to get greasier compared to the re01r throughout the day at a track.

+1 for the Dunlop Direzza Z1s.

Those and the Bridgestone RE-01Rs are better than the RE-070s and the POS RE-050s, but are cheaper! NT-01s for the street is a waste. You won't get more than 5000 on the rears.
