R888 - NT01 - Rival S - which?
Looking for a square 315-30-18 setup that is going to be mostly street. Car makes 600whp~ and I do a lot of canyon carving and some autocross. Which tire would have the best wear rating for mostly street use?
I know the Rival S is a 200 wear rating tire but from the reviews I've seen - they wear very quickly. Does anyone have experience with all 3 tires?

The Nittos are great tire, though not a real autocross tire even though I use them as such, but it is not a fun tire in the rain. I have gotten caught in a moderate rain one time, and it was the most nerve racking time I have had driving my car. Never tried either of the others though.

I have 11 events on them since I really only race one a month and this is on slower, smaller courses since I live in Hawaii. I will probably get 2 season at least out of them since I don't really drive the car on the street much out here either.

Driven hard they will all probably wear pretty similarly.
But for mostly street use 1. Rival 2. R888 3. NT01 seems like a pretty easy choice.
(no Rival-S experience, but I have used the base Rival, R888 and NT01).

I've tired R888 315/35/17 all around and they are excellent tires for the canyon/track/autox if you can keep replacing them.
Currently on NT05 315 all around,(3rd set since R888)but thinking of going NT01 this time since its less expensive than R888.
Im going through NT05's in the front in around ~3500 miles...
Here are pics when I had my R888.
