long time no 2 again, and changed to some comp rear tires.
finally broke 12k miles on my 2, and to celebrate this event my tire shop recommended some stupid looking NT01 track tires, they are cheaper than PS2s and corsas, so why not.
But they look like they last 200 miles though. Tread wear rating is 100 which is about the same as corsas, so not too bad i guess.
these tires were much better than my almost steel belted PS2s of course, and they really stick and never slide on my 1st spirited drive with the crew. but since my fronts are nitto NT05s which are a little different than the new rear N01s, handling is a little wierd, they sometimes dont agree with each other, they dont sych perfectly, will change the fronts too in time.
but overall, good grip from these track tires.
and i love driving this machine! its so exciting and involving, nothing my fcars can ever give me! scared sh!tless and way more rewarding, and thats with no sound track too!

Sick... Congrats on another 2 
BTW I run NT01's on my RUF GT2 as well, they are STOUT tires.. They get a little loud when being worn down, but they have become the ultimate street tire for me and i've tried them all.... Even street to local track with just adjusting pressures, they are fantastic and last a long time, down to the cords without sacrificing grip level.
