245 front
335 rear

$225 per rear tire shaved to 5/32", plus shipping

front RA1 are gone, by some are running Nitto NT01 245 with RA1 rear. I think 245 Nitto are $250ish each

Yes, 18". DE Cup guys are all running 245/335 on the .2RS. I like the balance of the 245/305. A 255 or 265 front with 335 rear would be ideal, but no options in that size except for Hoosiers. 255/335 is magic (especially with the big 255 hoosier)....closest I can get to that feeling is 245/305. Don't you already run this Hoosier setup?

Yes... I am running 255 and 335 R6 and Michelin N1 slicks...
I have 2 sets of new slicks and 2 sets of hoosiers laying wait, but was thinking of trying some RA1s for fun and had not really paid attention to the sizing etc when I have been reading about them...

thank you for providing the sizing - I suppose I could have done a search for RA1 I was just afraid of 16 pages of results with 19 page long threads

I recently bought from tirecrawler.com -- you might try them for more size selection. I don't see 255s. I guess you could check the specs of the 275 -- it might be no wider than the nominal 265 of other brands that does fit. Being 18's and perhaps overall "smaller" ... maybe ... it would be a good amount of "stick" for the front of an RS.

Not all the DE Cup guys are running RA1 or NT-01/RA1. The Moving Chicane class is running MPSS and ADV08. The Coffee Cup class is running R888 and a few ones RA1. The Gold Cup guys are running RA1 with just Paul on Hoosiers. The Platinum Cup guys are all on Hoosiers or Slicks, except trakcar which is the only car that has entered the Platinum Cup level for just one lap, drafting a 4.0RS, in a cold winter morning, with a time of 2:19.

18.999 is 19. 19.999 is 20. Super Cold Winter sub 40s dry weather helps a lot. My Fiat was 8mph faster in January between T16 and T17.

Anyway, you have a permanent Platinum Cup membership as you were the first in the DE Cup to create the new class, despite of being unable to repeat the performance anymore.

Where did the rankings come from? Was that from the DE cup thread? I'm probably an aluminum member with a 223.

Let me fauk with the S/F line. I'll make Peter a solid 18.7 without anyone knowing

Valid Timers:

- AMB Transponder
- Aim Solo and Solo DL
- RaceKeeper
- Traqmate

Erratic Timers:
- Robic
- HLT
- Low Res videos in H.264 compression

No credit for your 19s, same goes to GT3DE.

Porro showed me the 2:16.7 on the AiM Solo DL (Michelin Slicks and 4.0RS). Porro is the record holder.
