    I paid $258 for shaved RA1s???

    Can you tell I'm not into bondage??

    Don't forget about the peformance difference between a new set and one with a few heat cycles. The fast A sedan guys use a new set every race or two.

    i was only pointing out that $18 a tire difference is not the only consideration.

    Its a lot more than $18 a tire on 18s.
    275/35/R18 - $359 (Toyo RA1) vs $300 (Hoosier RA6)
    The Hoosiers were better performing for me as well.

    AIX here I come. I mean if I am going to finish last I might as well finish last in the top class

    So what is the pressing reason to buy a set of anything TODAY? Seriously .. SERIOUSLY!

    Why not cross the tire bridge when it gets here.

    EVERYTHING to this point is rumor and hear-say.

    Its just frustrating for those of us with bad OCD. Plus there are only 3 months till our first race. Maybe we should run AIX next year, pick an available tire and go. Same fun level, no dyno hassels, ummm. FMR
