Yeah - I used to have a set of track/street wheels, but the switching back and forth became tiring. Also, I live close to where I work and it is unusual that I have much highway driving, so day to day wear is usually not so bad.

I drive about 6/7000 km a year with about 3000 km of that on the track and another 1500 km being getting to and from the track. The rest is daily stuff. Id need three sets of rears for that. Im getting about 5 track days out of the rears on average. Last set I got 3. The track days are what kills the RA1s for me, not the daily stuff.

 

interesting.
do you know a tire dealer that stocks RA-1's or Nitto NT01's?
all my suppliers are out of stock till bloody spring

 

The best ever experiece I had buying any type of rubber was at Tirecraft in Concord.

Call Jeff Wenzel at 905.760.1130. He set me up with there with RA1s. Was amazing. Priced very well. And they installed them fast and very carefully. They couldnt get my car on the lift so they jacked it up by hand.

 

Yo what about Fred's Tire...they're pretty big, might have them?
