Not as fast as slicks, but great R-compound choice. Go Toyo RR if you want even more grip, but stiffer sidewall, may be sweet spot for you before going full slick.

If you're not doing competition, any reason to run slicks other than lap records?

NT-01s and other Rs are comparable, it will come down to availability and tire size that you want in the end imho.
I e been driving RR's on SE46 for years and thought about R888's. Running NT-01's now but maybe I push them too hard as they get "greasy".
Retiring from racing but still have my Z4MC which is getting more racy. Just what grip that is more then I'm willing to push.
