I may end up getting a set of the Invo's too later...just to see the difference. On their website, it sounds like an awesome tire. It'll be between that and the Hankook Ventus for my second set.

As some of you know, my car got side swiped in a hit n run. Idiots out there.

I'm going to sell the few parts that I have but I'm keeping the NT05's! I have the Brembo BBK and the Tein Monoflex. Anyone interested please let me know. They're open but never been out of the box.

I may or may not look for another S2K...depends on what my insurance does.

Thanks.

It's a bad idea if you want to be competetive on them since they will heat cycle out quicky with DD use.

I don't think you'll heat cycle on the street. They don't get hot enough.

Definitely not the case. I've heat cycled out all of the rcomps I've street driven on.

Strange, first I'm hearing this for the Nittos. People daily the RA01's all the time. The NT01 is essentially the same tire (compound).

Is your experience specific to the NT01/RA01s?
