Default Rain tires

The spec tire for the SPB is the Toyo RR.
What r we to do for rain tires?
Can we use any tire and size we want?
I need rains and have no idea what to get!

Full tread Toyo RA1 is the spec rain tire in the same sizes as the RR.

Yes those RA1's are the only option. I'd recommend a good scuffing-in session prior to racing on them but that said, they are not the big water pumps you might buy given a choice. They will aquaplane but at least we all aquaplane together. Getting caught out on the new RR's is a real adventure BTW.
