i cannot get 255/315 in time as rmag and stisseront (sp) suggested, so i am on 245/305 full tread.
i am pretty sure the high speed braking wiggle is due to too much tread. i will prove/disprove that next weekend.
on my RA1 full tread, 1st day was wiggle (straightline brk) after 7HC, it was solid. from then on i always shaved to 4/32.
seeing that 888 is 5/32, i thought why bother shaving 1/32. we'll see.

I have 6 days on a set of 245 and 305's now, including driving to and from the track for a combined 800+ miles, and my fronts still have plenty in them, the rears I flipped on the rim and then changed from left to right and probably have another day of 2 in them. It's mostly the inside rear that will force me to purchase new ones. I'm shooting for around 38-40 hot, since that seems to get my tires within about 20F from inside to outside. I still have another set sitting with my tire guy that I haven't needed yet, also full thread. Next set after that will definitely be shaved, since they wear like steel. Not as fast as Hoohoos, but I drive to the track. Normally, my tires last me 4 days at most, including MPSC's, so I'm happy with them.
If somebody tries the 255 and 315's, I would love to know if there are any ABS issues or not. There are none with the 245 and 305's

my full tread RA1 lasted a long time. 2x longer than shaved to 4/32.
when shaved 800 miles, see above.
both rmag and stisseront are running those NOW.
