Rage, I completely agree with you. You know I just started using the Toyo's so I can't say how they are through their entire life, but my brother has run them for the past 3 DE's and says the same thing you do. He was at about 40% last event and was flying around the track. I have about 3 years of DE's with the A032R's and after the switch to the RA-1's, I'm not going back.

I'm pretty sure I stated that the A032R's are better in the wet in my post after that, so were on the same page there

A lot of autocross groups seem to delineate between street tires and race tires at the 140 treadwear rating.
Part of the problem with AutoXs is that do that is that they do not have an understanding of UTQG and what it means.

Michelin XGT H4s (same tire only 14" sizes are H-rated)
Michelin makes some good product this isnt it, total piece of ****.

I prefer Dunlop D40M2
Tire discontinued in the US over 5 years ago. Any tire left would be considered suspect in my book, they would have to be ages old by new, new or not.

Quick question, i am running 225/60/15 right now on all four tires on stock 15" fuchs. I am gonna step down to 50 but if i were to make my fronts narrower (205) and keep the rears 225, how would affect steering? Should i just just keep my current set-up?

use 215/60's or 225/50's all four corners with 15" wheels.
