I have similar experiences with RE-11's vs NT-01's. The NT-01's felt like they were faster because they turned in harder but the lap times said there wasn't much in it. It felt like you had to really push it to the limit to make the most of the NT-01's where as the RE-11's even though less sticky were easier to drive on.
