This is why I do not like all-seasons.

Yeah, but the 185s were CHEAP, like $32 a tire cheap. I felt like I should have worn a ski mask while ordering them online.
At the end of the day, I do so much highway driving that NT-01s on the street made no sense at all. I would have just heat-cycled the crap out of them.

Just lamenting the loss of a quality summer tire for my everyday use. Makes no sense anymore, and I'd rather have an R-comp for the track and an all-season for the track than try and double-duty a tire. It worked for a while, but I've gotta get some sticky rubber under my car to keep the power down.

While I'm home, I'll be running around on the NT-01s, but it just doesn't make sense to drive them 400 miles round-trip to school and back twice a month. For that stuff, the most cost-effective thing I could have done was cheap tires on daisies I already had.
