Default What do you guys think about the new Nitto NT-01's?

Thinkin about gettin some for my car.....315-30-18 rears & 275-40-17 fronts. Anyone running this tire, I'm wondering how it handles if i get stuck in the rain etc. I'm sure with a 315 drag radial I'll be able to cut low 1.7 60's too which will equal mid 12's for me http://www.nittotire.com/tires_nt01_features.asp

Introducing the Nitto NT-01, the pinnacle of Nitto Tires technical excellence. The NT-01 is a D.O.T. approved* competition radial with an asymmetrical, non-directional tread pattern optimized for dry racing conditions. Beginning with a tread depth of 6/32nds", the NT-01 can be shaved to 4/32nds" to reveal a "slick" tread surface with two circumferential tread grooves. The NT-01 features a racing-inspired tread compound formulated for on-track performance to deliver extreme cornering power for fast and consistent track times.

Looks like its a road race tire, not so much a drag radial. Look into the MT DR's MUCH sticker than Nittos!
