D.OT. Street legal R comps for autocross.

ResIpsa

The R888 and the NT01 are both made by Toyo (Toyo owns Nitto) and have the same tread compound. The difference is in the tread pattern. The R888 has a deeper tread suitable for rain out of the box or it should be shaved for dry use.

The NT01 has a shallower tread compound that does not need to be shaved but is less effective in the rain.

I had the same dilemma as you this year and I went with the NT01’s. They are great tires that will blow away your RE-11’s and are fine to be driven on the street (just make sure the check them every so often to remove any objects stuck in the tread). However, you will be a couple seconds slower than the guys on Hoosiers.
