Anybody used the Nitto NT01 for street use? How long did they last

I wanted Toyo R888 in 315s but its so hard to get here in canada. I settled for Nitto NT01 because I got them in 2 days. Just want to know what everyones experience has been with them?

They are ok, I have them on 2 vehicles. Both suffer from a little bit of wheel hop. Not sure if that is tire or setup yet. They have lasted longer than I expected but I am hard on them. I had the ranger out on a track day in the rain and traction was better than expected. I expected uncontrollable but was pleasantly surprised. I want to try the toyos next so I can have an honest comparison. I am having a fair assumption that the NT01 is the best bang for the buck but may be out performed

They get stickier when warm so more traction in 1-3 gears, they are like plastic when cild(below 45 degrees) I wouldn’t drive them on the interstate in a downpour. A great Fairweather tire that you would expect to replace more often than a regular summer performance tires
