Mike,
Did you get a chance to try the RE71R in the wet at COTA a few weeks ago? If the RE71R can match the NT01 in the dry and be competent in the wet that would be very interesting to me. In my experience, NT01s are worthless in the wet, even when brand new. For DE, it would be nice to not have to deal with a set of rain tires.

Drifting
On my compromised 993 (street/track), I get 45 HC driving in advanced group before edges are corded or close to it. With better track alignment should be many more.
I haven't noticed perciptible drop in traction with wear. I set my best time at the Glen at the end of their life, but I'm still learning and improving esp at that track so who knows.

We use 235/40 R17 Toyo RR's on our Spec NP01 Prototypes. A spec NP01 finished 6th overall at the 25hr running the Toyo RR's- They only had to change tires every 11.5 HOURS! They could of finished the race on 2 sets, but wanted to keep the crew awake the last couple hours.
Let that sink in.

Thanks everybody, lots of good info. I agree with the observations, # of cycles is function of how much to the limit tires are taken. I'm "killing" PSC2 in less # of cycles, difference is being consistently faster than before, they don't cord but they get significantly slower...
