Hold that order. I have run all these tires and the NT01's and trip eights (r888) are in a completely different league from the RE-11's. On a two-mile road course they're probably worth 4 or 5 seconds per lap.
The RE-11's are a Street Tire plain and simple. Only a "forum expert" would say there comparable. Trust me, the NT01's will put a huge smile on your face even when they're cold.
... and a huge frown when you careen off the road in the rain
