Thinking of going to Toyo RA-1s again, what sizes is everyone using?

Thanks

I have 205/255 17's for my rain and spare tire set on cup II wheels (7 & 9" rims).

I do think MPSCs stick better (but don't last as long). I normaly run the MPSC in 205/255 sizes too but am going to try 225/255 this round.

235/275 RA1 works for me.

I have 235/40/17s and 255/40/17s that I'm willing to sell, if you're interested. Reason for selling: they didn't have good grip from cold in autocross. I got them new this summer at full tread depth. They are now scrubbed in with about 550 road miles, two autocrosses, and two twenty-minute sessions on track. While they don't give good grip from cold for autocross, they give good grip on the track after a lap or so, and they are the best R-compounds I've ever tried for driving to and from events. The compound is harder than most other R-compounds, so they wear slowly.
