Message	They are noisy and tramline on pavement imperfections like crazy. I've run both R888's and NT-01's to the track and back and can't wait to get them swapped out for street tires when I get home. Plus they don't really get super sticky until they get up to working temp which you won't be able to do on the street easily. On the track, they're awesome... on the street, not so much. I'd go with MT ET Streets if you want better traction.
