Hi,
Just discovered that Tirerack does not carry NT01 (where I usually buy tires).
Is there any local source?
Should I get them from Discount Tire Direct (not sure if they would arrive in time - need them by friday).
Heat cycling - if I use them for the first session of day 1 can I use them day 2 (what I did with my current set) or is it really better to leave them until the next event? Will it make any difference for me anyway?
thanks,
Rebecca

Re: best place to buy NT01?
I don't know if they are the 'best place', but Phil's Tire Service in NY sells them. If you order Tuesday they will likely be here in time. Orders usually arrive next-day via UPS ground, but the Nittos are usually drop-shipped and take 2 days (or perhaps longer).
I would not bother with the heat cycle or shaving. Just drive 'em. That's what I do.

I always get tires from Treadzone in 2 days or less: http://www.treadzone.com/tireList.aspx
My personal opinion on the Nittos is that they grip well (very similar to RA1s) but could use a modest shave. At full tread there was a delay between turn-in and the tire actually turning the car. Noticed it the most at LRP in the Uphill and Downhill.

I usually get them in 2 days from DTD, I think they stock them in either NJ or DE. I just drive them too, never noticed any improvement from heat cycling the Nittos.
Phone it in to confirm delivery times, either DTD or Phil's. DTD includes free shipping.
