The Nitto NT01 competition tire has an asymmetrical non-directional tread pattern, allowing it to be mounted on either side of the car. The tread pattern is 6/32-inch (as molded), but can be shaved down to 2/32-inch to reveal a slick with two circumferential rain grooves. As molded, the NT01 is street-legal, but don't plan on racking up tens of thousands of miles on the street--it's a max-effort, track-day tire. Still, we wouldn't have anything less on a serious street car.
