Nice pics!
Isn't that a Noble next to you? Man I'd love a ride in that thing!

I'm running a set of NT-01 in 245/40/17 on my 240 as well. awesome tires.
I've been told they're the same compound as the toyo RA-1 (since toyo is Nitto's parent company), but the more aggressive tread pattern makes the tire more predictable.

Personally I think the NT-01 are much stickier than the RA-1 though, but it's been a couple years since I ran the RA-1 and I ran them on the maxima only. no direct comparison between the two tires yet. but I love the NT-01s so far..
