I run the Nitto NT-01's on the rear of my car and I am more street than track and I like them. They are very sticky except when I press my right foot down and unleash the 700+ rw ponies then all hell breaks loose. They are a good tire that grips the turns very nicely

I know what you mean. The peddle sticks to the floor better than the tires stick to the pavement.
