Nitto NT01 DOT-Compliant Competition Road Course Tire
The Nitto NT01 is a high-performance, DOT-compliant radial tire engineered for drivers who demand race-track precision without sacrificing street legality. Designed for road course competition, track days, and time trials, the NT01 combines advanced engineering with durability to deliver consistent performance on the circuit while remaining compliant for occasional street use.
Key Features & Benefits
- DOT-Compliant Design: Meets stringent Department of Transportation standards for limited street driving while excelling in competitive environments.
- Race-Proven Traction: Aggressive asymmetric tread pattern with large circumferential grooves enhances wet and dry grip, ensuring stability during high-speed cornering and braking.
- Jointless Spiral Wrap Technology: Reinforced internal construction reduces tire weight, improves high-speed stability, and minimizes heat buildup for extended track sessions.
- Heat-Resistant Tread Compound: Optimized compound maintains grip under extreme temperatures, ideal for endurance racing and repeated laps.
- 100 Treadwear Rating: Balances competitive performance with extended longevity, perfect for HPDE (High-Performance Driving Events) and time-attack challenges.
- Versatile Fitment: Available in sizes ranging from 15” to 20” wheel diameters to fit sports cars, muscle cars, and dedicated track builds (e.g., Porsche 911, Chevrolet Corvette, Mazda MX-5).
Applications
- Road Course & Circuit Racing: Engineered for precise handling on technical tracks.
- Track Days & Time Trials: Delivers consistent lap times under demanding conditions.
- Street-Legal Performance: DOT-approved for occasional street driving between events.
Why the Nitto NT01 Stands Out
The NT01 bridges the gap between full-slick racing tires and conventional street tires, offering amateur and professional drivers a competitive edge. Its stiff sidewalls enhance steering response, while the asymmetric tread design maximizes contact patches during aggressive cornering. Whether you’re pushing limits in a modified sports car or preparing for a podium finish, the NT01 provides the reliability, grip, and durability required to dominate.
