I just got mine installed an absolutely love them. You won't believe the grip!!! It's very encouraging to hear people getting 8000 miles out of a set. I assume I'll need a set every year. I can live with that.
I might go with a set of NT-01 once the NT555R2 are done.
Don't hesitate get them.
I got them from www.discounttire.com for $942 for the set.

you can do it yourself but the problem is that your alignment probably won't put 100% of the tires surface area on the ground, so maybe only a portion of the tire will get heat cycled instead of the whole thing.
tirerack uses rollers to simulate the road. I had my set heat cycled by them for the extra 8 per tire, or whatever they charged, and I've got a few thousand miles, couple track days and a couple autox's and still have tons of tread left.

Less than 1000 if you're using them right! 
Seriously, I think I've got about 8 track days/~ 24 heat cycles on my first set and they're on my extra wheels as spares. Decent center tread but the front outsides are worn.
Discount tire just had them on sale. I bought two sets for less than a set of PS2s.
Great tires! If you haven't driven them on the track you're missing what they're really all about!
