My opinion is that the RA-1 works very well on the street. Very good grip even cold, and they aren't that sensitive to different pressures as other r-tires. Also not very sensitive to temperature.
BUT, if you only run on the street perhaps you never will notice the difference between the RA-1 and the T1-R and the T1-R might last longer so it's probably a better choice.

I would buy the Michelins again, but am unsure if I will. I am very unhappy with what Michelin did at Indy and the F1 race. I have heard many say the Bridgestones are a great tire. So if Michelin does not do something to redeem themselves for the Indy debockle, My next set of tires will be Bridgestone.

This is my sentiment as well, If I were to go w/michelin it's probably going to be the Pilot SX MXX3 or the Exalto PE2 . The SX may blow the budget though... 200 each, ouch!
Thought on the Bridgestone RE050A ?
And what about the cheapy Hankooks? RS2 Z212's
I know I was originally asking about the Toyo's but my heart was set on the RA1's... but don't ask for advice if you don't plan on following it...

It was only one of the biggest fiascos in F1 history...

Not that Bridgestone hasn't tried it's tricks in the past. Oh, well It's the politics of racing I suppose...
