your supplier is smok'n something!!
the RA1 is used and promoted by the one of the most watched sportscar racing series, the speed World Challenge. not only do they have a 4 year contract for these DOT racing tires, but there are MANY series that toyo sponsors and provides tires for. (ie spec miata in SCCA, NASA, camero mustang challenge in NASA, etc)
RA1s are not going anywhere. however, im sure there could be updates and improvements along the way. they just came out with a 305x30, 35 and a 335x30x18 this past year.
simply the best all around DOT racing tire around.

In world challenge GT and touring, there are 70 teams buying 8 tires (RA1) each every month of the season for 10 races. thats 1.2 million dollars in tires just for this small racing group!
