A tyre store told me that, even though the Nitto NT01 is DOT-compliant in the USA, in Australia it is for track only. The Nitto NT05 is streetable. Nitto also have drag radials - if that was the particular type of track tyre you were after.
Notice how the
US website mentions DOT-compliant while the
Australian Distributor conveniently leaves that part out. I also have the Australian Nitto catalogue, which omits any reference to DOT-compliance.
Not to mention, I'm not too sure how well the NT01 would hold up in a wet road scenario - you might aquaplane all over the place
On the other hand, if it is for track use only then
