Thanks I'm running 2-2.2 front and rear I'll have to see if I can dial some more in. As I need to flip them halfway through to get the most life out of them

This tire is starting to cord.

thats a very strange wear pattern. inside and outside. maybe raise the tire pressure a tad?

For NT-01s, the cords are the wear bars .

When mine are not long for this world, I bring a second mounted set with me. When those cord, the new ones go on, the ones from the old set not corded go in the "reserve" pile and they get used up when this new set cords, by which time there is a new set mounted and ready to go. I seldom toss out an NT-01 that is not corded.

Having lots of spare wheels helps.

No can do. I run 36-38psi hot pressures. I think it's an impressive wear pattern after 30 sessions or so.
