For those that have dedicated track wheels in sizes 18x9 and 18x12 what are you running now that Toyo RA1s are discontinued in the 335 width?

Only three suitable tires I can find are Toyo R888, Hoosier R6, and BFG R1s.
Are there others I don't know about?

For those running Hooters, how many heat cycles do you expect to get before they go away?

Weighing my options for my next set of tires. I was contemplating another set of 18" wheels but now I don't know. Are there any good relatively cheap 19" options out there?

Don't forget the great 335/30R18 KUMHO ECSTA V70A : )

TRAKCAR

I have Toyo RA1's stashed till 2012 at least. After that I guess slicks or Hoosier R6

bperry

Saw those. Only front widths available are 225 and 265. Too wide and too narrow?

911SLOW

Great tires.

The 225 is nice!
the 265 is too wide especially when docking in crowded marinas. There you need the protection tire hanging from the sides of the boat to be 225 max. : )

Me.....like PackRat.....I mean TrakCar have stocked Toyo RA1.....I have eight rears left, shaved to 2/23".....last four days

After I run out of RA1 I am going to try Hoosier Eagle RS. Heard they have more usuable heat cycle then hooters......if they dont work I will drive hooters

Do you mean Goodyear's. Anyone have a source for the Eagles? Anyone used them?

with some sarcasm or not - V70A are not bad at all for AX, if you cannot run A6 hoosiers. They are much stickier than R888 but less than V710 kumhos and you can drive on them to the event in wet.

On a track they melt, even if shaved. Only good thing about them before they dissapeared was their price - I got fronts 265 for $80 apiece, rear 335 were about of 170 shipped, essentially whole set costed me under $600 shipped. any r-comp tire is good enough for such money.
265 tire fits on 9" rim.

for those who want RA1 tires - speedforsale runs a sale right now for shaved 245 and 335 RA1 tires.
until supply lasts - shaved fronts for $144. Pretty nice price imho.
