Exactly. The RA1 is fookin scary on the first day without shaving. NT-01 feels great from day one and as the grooves wear down, the added contact area probably compensates for the HC aging so they are very consistent from sticker to cords. If you needed another 2/10ths you could shave them from day one and use it as a fresh qualifying tire.
