I've driven NT01s and R888s to, and on, VIR full in dry, wet, and cold conditions.

The NT01s are good in the cold but not good at all in the rain. I hope I never have to eat them in a downpour. The NT01s are much quieter than the R888s on track and especially on the highway. They still are noisy but nothing compared to R888s. With R888s on the highway you'll think you have failing wheel bearings.

When at their peak and on a dry track R888s and NT01s have similar grip but NT01s seem to act slightly livelier allowing you to play more with predictable slip. Paul seems to have one or the other but not both at the same time. I like them both.
