Here is the skinny on all of the tires seeing as how I have had or currently have them.

Toyo RA1 were the predecessor to the triple 8, RA1 were an excellent Dry/Wet tire that I would have recommended to everyone, Triple 8 are great tire when it is dry, However they are slick when it is wet.

Nitto NT05 is a good all around tire, it is an average track tire. They do handle well in heavy rain at 70. In my experience this tire does have a slight roll when hot.

Now lets talk about the tire I would compare to the RA1, Nitto has the 555 G2. This tire is down right phenomenal, Sticky when it is dry and the tire is warm, Man! does it move water when it is wet.
Last year I was driving my Pace car home from Indy, I hit a rain storm at 85mph, Not once did the traction control engage.

NT-01 I have never had these tires, so I would rather not comment on them.

With that being said, The 888 and any R rated Nitto need to be heat cycled.
