Kevinlpl, how are you liking the Nitto NT01's. I am think about these as my next track tire once my Toyo RA1's are wore out later this year.
I have not tracked the Nitto yet. A couple of my buddies like them on their M3 and STI. They both previously ran the RA1. I am not a fan of the RA1, I prefer the MPSC (non NO-Porsche type). So take that for what is is worth.

I believe, I believe! I agree that many follks are wearing out their rears because the rear toe moves. Mine was way off, fortunately I checked it soon and often. Also I do agree you could see the above angled wear on your fronts from Too much toe-in as well. Mine is from too little camber and track time.

I am experiencing the same thing on a 997S. I realize these tires have been too hot and some chunking has occurred but I have the same angle wear pattern from inside (higher) to outside (lower) only on the middle treads. My alignment is -1.99 front with -.04 toe. These tires have about 700 street miles and 7 or 8 - 20 minute sessions. I do drive the car on the street and have a couple of events that are more than a few hundred miles away that I will drive to.

What do you think more negative camber and less negative toe?

Thanks.
