Default RE050 N0 vs. N1

I was wondering if anyone have had both RE050 N0 and N1 to be able to quantify the difference, if any?

Specifically, if N1 was better in dry/wet traction, where N0 seemed to lag behind PS2, while having better ride/noise/wear.

I suspect there is not any noticeable difference, but am curious like you. I just purchased a set of N0, mainly because I didn't notice that there were both listed on the Tire Rack website.

Yeah, it's confusing. If you choose show OE tires, it skips N1. I just read the time they got on Hokkenheim on latest 997 Turbo that matched R8 V10, was with RE050 N1.

I have been told by people who track them that the N1s have been competitive with PS2s on the track. The N0s not so.
