I went thru 2 sets of Nitto NT-01 r-comps - great track tire...and then I got a set of the R1s. The improvements over the Nitto are significant, washout in tight corners is gone...confidence and stability is way up, you really get the feeling on these tires that you have vast reserves of grip, both for cornering and braking. Far less understeer, better cornering stability, just a very addictive track tire overall. Overheating is still possible if you're at 9+/10, but breakaway is gradual and predictable, just no sound. I can never go back to anything less...
