The Elise with Sport Pack comes with the 048. They feel great on both track and auto-x. I am very impressed with them on the track specially...

They are awesome for DEs after that as that is what I use our take offs for.
RA1s rock!

Dunno if they do yet. One of the UK GT3 owners emailed Toyo in the UK and first batch won't be available before April. We are all hoping they don't try to gouge us and do better than the other Euro makes.

Get them or stick to Sport Cups?

Gordon, I think John Robison at PR runs them on his 911 track car. I have them on my Elise, but I have not tracked it yet.
