Anyone have any insight?

Thanks
Well, the NT01 has less grooves and thereby I think it might be a better "dry" tire whereas the RA1's would be a better "wet" tire. I think on a car that's driven alot the RA1 would be the better choice. Oh, and the RA1s have a wider selection of sizes including 335's
