I'm looking to get the Toyo RA-1 tires for a set of OEM 17" rims for my track and autoX days. I've heard these are great tires, and will allow me to change rims at home and drive to the events w/o need of a trailer! What sizes do you think I should get?

important facts:
- '05 enthusaist
- Hothkis TVS 1 (springs / sways)
- minor engine mods (CAI, plenum spacer, ...maybe a pulley)
- tires will only be used for dirving at events ( + round trip)

I stared the 2 that I was thinking of using.

TOYO PROXES RA-1 205 40 17
TOYO PROXES RA-1 205 50 17
TOYO PROXES RA-1 235 40 17 * (front)
TOYO PROXES RA-1 235 45 17
TOYO PROXES RA-1 255 40 17 *(Rear)
TOYO PROXES RA-1 275 40 17


thanks for the input!

 

I'm running 255/40/17 on all rims with the enthusist model. This allows me to
rotate the tires to extend wear.

 

You won't be disappointed in the RA-1 either. It's an awesome tire.

 

I just ordered my RA1 from www.onlinetires.com. They had the best prices.

AutoX guys seem to prefer having the same size tire all around.
I'm more into HPDE so I kept a staggered setup. (255/275)

 

humm...thanks guys! I was thinking of buying a new set, but I think I just found someone that has a complete set of used 235's that is looking to sell - since I don't do too many events, I might pick these up.

thanks for the advice! (I can't wait to feel them in action)
