It's a bad idea if you want to be competetive on them since they will heat cycle out quicky with DD use.
I don't think you'll heat cycle on the street. They don't get hot enough.
Definitely not the case. I've heat cycled out all of the rcomps I've street driven on.

Strange, first I'm hearing this for the Nittos. People daily the RA01's all the time. The NT01 is essentially the same tire (compound).

Is your experience specific to the NT01/RA01s?

I've heat cycled out NT01 and R888. Keep in mind of course that not everyone's version of daily driving is the same. Just driving around on a hot summer day will get some decent heat into the tires.

I had a set on my DC2 for a while and i daily drove on them. Loads of un and lasted about 8k before i replaced them. Loads of grip when dry but had to do the speed limit when it was wet out but all in all i give them an A+

Yep, by nearly $20 a tire right after I bought a set.

With proper track camber, they heat cycle on anything more than a super short drive.
