I actually think that one tire grips better than the rest right now being slick and with only 12 heat cycles. It's going to cord way before the others is the only thing.

Yes on MO being tough on left fronts. Keyhole and carosel are both nearly 180 degree right hands where you need to really wait on the car and be patient which I clearly was not doing Sat. Sunday I went quicker and didn't punish the tires in the process.

I noticed the rears have a funny wear pattern as well. I'll have to grab a picture.

What are your camber and toe settings?

I just bought the Nittos and am currently running -3 front and -2.5 rear. Those settings were optimal for me running MSPCs at MMP in Utah. I have had even wear...

Thanks,

-2.3 front and -2.1 rear camber. From what I have read the NT01s do not like as much camber as sportcups or Hoosiers and I have to agree with that judging by what I'm seeing running these on my local track which is quite twisty (High Plains Raceway near Denver). -3 seems excessive for these....

FWIW, I'm on my 5th or 6th set of Nittos (running -3.5 front and -3 rear for camber) and I've got over 40 HC's out of every set. I do have to swap side to side and reverse on rim (mostly the rears) to balance out the wear, but they're good right to the cords. YMMV.

If you are new to Nitto NT-01 245/40/18 315/30/18 expect them to rub.
I have already replaced the front linings, my rear linings need to be replaced as well. I have gone to 235 for the front, I wish they had 305's for the rear.
My next set will be the MPSCs

At the track with stock wheel sizes + offsets; a few mm lower than stock ride height:

My 245s rub, but on full lock only; linings really aren't damaged enough to warrant replacing; that will take a while. The better bite up front is worth it to me on track vs the 235s I've ran before.

Rear 315s have never rubbed. Very odd that you have, especially enough to warrant replacing. Can't imagine how you would rub those small front area linings....

I have 255 r6's up front 315 rear. Other then full lock no rubbing and linings not affected. Mike

I have not run Nittos but I can tell you my 2 cents..
I started tracking the car with the pilot sports, they cored very quickly on the inside.
This may have something to do with driving to the track on them.
They basically are like driving on ice compared to hoosiers.
I then tried the yokahama advan A048, big improvemnet over the pilot sprt with good traction and great lifespan. I ran these at willow springs, cal speedway and laguna seca. My friends in other GT3's were kickin my but though (using hoosiers) so I had to get hoosiers R6's. I tried these at spring mountain raceway for the first time a few years ago, those friends of mine all of a sudden were all in my rearview mirror!!!!
I just increaed my camber and am very anxious to run the yokohama A005A's (full race slicks) that are sitting in the garage waiting for me! you will need a trailer for the car at this point by the way. No more driving to the track.

oh.. as far as sizing,
I use 295 30 18 and 245 35 18 with no rubbing

Dudley

I am heading for the track for a couple days. When I get back and swap out my wheels, I will take a couple photos of the rubbing. Everyone should run what they are comfortable with.
I am just adding a data point.

No worries Dave. Be safe and have a great event man!
