[Linc]

What's a good Southern / Central California or online source for Nitto NT-01 tires?

+1 and speedventures will give you a $20 per tire credit towards their trackdays.

Checked on these NT 01 tires here in Dubai and found that they came in several different compounds with varying tread wear from around 200 up to 400! Unfortunately my sizes were not available in the softer compounds. Cool design.

Not sure about the supply chain they have over there but Nitto lists the NT-01 as only being available with a treadwear rating of 100.

(Scroll to the bottom off the text on the left.)

All of the ones I have seen are a tread wear of 100. With the tread pattern that the NT-01 has I would expect it to be a disaster for all conditions with a treadwear rating of 400.

BTW - I remember Discount Tire having a "buy 3 and get the 4th one free" sale. (or maybe it was $100 back...) Do they do that once a year or something like that?

Thanks. We do get some strange stuff over here. Lots of tires don't even have the treadwear rating on them and you can buy 2 variations of the same brand of tool or even tooth paste in the same outlet and they may even tell you that one of them isn't the real McCoy, but they may not be sure about the other brand either. Go figure.
