I run 255/315 and it feels just about perfect. Granted, slightly different car - 6GT3 - but still...

there is too much prejudice toward R888 these days. if no one will get that set i have for sale i will try it out myself next season, but so far i quite like how shaved RA1 tires do behave. if NT01 fronts will be close to it with more grip it will be just perfect.
they are not hoosiers but considering I have to drive for 2.5 hours to lime rock and 1.5 hours to NHMS it is quite an optimal solution, for a while.

Most people I know who have tried the NT-01s really like them, myself included. The same cannot be said for R888s. There seems to be the opinion from some I have talked to that the R888s do drop off in performance as they accrue heat cycles.
