Hey Tifo;
The only thing I think you will notice is some tread squirm going from Old Baldies to new full tread. Otherwise they should be comparable. I wouldn't be surprised if Toyo has even made them wear EVEN LONGER.
I've got an old set I bought used 4-5 years ago. I have no idea how many cycles they have, but it's gotta be pushing 200!!! They still work!
Oh.. and who let you in here?
This is a good place, though. Less "starch" over here. Glad you didn't sell your car. Why get it just where you want it and then dump it?

Ok, I've done a couple more events with the RA-1's, and I have found that they offer more grip than the Pirelli P-Zero C's I was running with before.
Again, this is my perception, but it seems to me that my cornering speeds are greater with the RA-1's. Although not emperical data, (where's Color Change with his DAS system), the Toyos feel stickier when I come off the track than the Pirellis.
Yes sir, I like them!
