Nitto nt01

Hi all I have a question to ask. Is nitto nt01 tyres street legal in NSW?

And if I have them on will RMS pass my vehicle for inspection?

Please can anyone advice who has gone through this.

Thanks

I thought they weren't technically "legal" anywhere man .... Please correct me if I'm wrong

This article lists it as street legal in Australia: http://www.ozzytyres.com.au/blog/the-nitto-nt-performance-and-invo-tyre-range/

Also Toyo refers to the R888 as street legal on their site, it's the same compound as NT01 (though different tread pattern): http://toyotires.com.au/tyres/motorsport-tyres/item/20-proxes-r888

Neither is really a street tyre though, my R888R's are super noisy at freeway speeds and wear a lot faster than my KU36's. Also they pick up a lot of debris from the street because of the soft compound, so I certainly wouldn't run them as the primary tyre on a street or mixed use car.

It says in the sidewall "for competition use only" I know this because I have this.

Go and buy nt05s if you want nitto Street tyres.

Thanks guys

I read through they are legal. Will it pass my compliance  (Blueslips) here in NSW?

Mabes. Why bother

[Subi001]

Want my car to be street driven and for track too. Want to spend money once on the tyres

I ment I don't want to have 2 sets of wheels.

It will be cheaper to have 2 sets of wheels if you plan to do a lot of track time.

I had a set of Bridgestone semis which were great on the track but not good on the road so I sold them.. I got a second set of wheels at relatively low cost and got second hand slicks from the NZV8 series - they get rid of them when they drop off half a second per lap but are fine for track days. If you have quality track tyres then you will just waste them driving on the street (plus they will be marginal after a few km and in the wet).

If you are determined to have one set only then you have to favour street use and put up with less than optimum track times.

It you really want to run a single set only get AD08R or similar. Not as hardcore as the NT01 but also unlike them actually good for both street and track.

Otherwise a dedicated second set of rims and tyres or the track would be a good call.

if you're serious about doing any track time then another set of rims/wheels will be needed. Great for track ain't great for street. Or as above, AD08R, but won't last long on street so cheaper to hav a 2nd set, in the long run.

I run 315/30/18 nt01's on my rear and 265/35/18 advan ad08r's on my front and it's a winning combo for street and track and also has been suprisingly grippy and drivable in the wet... But yes the rears do pickup a lot of small rocks etc. but for the level of grip I'm now getting it doesn't bother me.

and also considering the nt01's where cheaper then the ad08r's and the biggest option is only 295/30/18 in the advan for slightly more money I will continue to use the nitto on my rear.
