    The treadwear is not a good indication of performance
    They are not DOT legal, so a cop could give you a ticket and your insurance "could" be declined in an accident

    I have a pair that I only used once on the rear of a 350Z at a track supersprint event
    They became slippery/greasy when they got mildly warm, absolute rubbish compared to a Dunlop 03G or Hankook Ventus TD

    I've heard similar things about the R888 with heavier, more powerful cars yet I know a couple of seriously good drivers who have used R888s on smaller, lighter cars with no complaints.

    So who knows? The NT01 may work OK with the Polo even if they didn't work with the 350Z
