I believe it means

"[I] like [them], especially in cooler weather. [I] rim 275fr/335r's here."

Yes. 275front 335 rear. You may like the ra-1's better than mpsc's due to the lower temps up there. A local gt3 was sliding all over on mpsc's when the temp was in the 50's, not so w/ ra-1's.

Yeah, I love RA1s but the sizes aren't right for our cars. I recently switched to the Yoko 048Rs and they are superb; much more predictable than the MPSCs. I'm running 225/285 (stock setup).

I agree, I'm running 235/40/18 ft. and 315/30/18 rear on wider wheels of course.
