Grant,
Larry Sharp ran them on his '74 Carrera 2.7RS last season. And you can see how he did with them. Check the GGR website for his results.

They are supposed to be fantastic...
Wait, they are fantastic. Larry Sharp run's 'em.
They last all year, too.

I may try them after the Kumho 710's. I think the 710's rate the best and are pretty afordable considering how long they last.

Are these the R's or RA's?

In name only, believe me.

running a 30-60 treadwear slick with two grooves is nothing like the treadwear420 tires on mom's sedan.

the Rs are $119
The RAs are $164

I still think I am going to use the Yoko A032Rs...I have used them before and feel comfortable with them. May give up a little in ultimate grip...but I know they will last an entire season.
Have to make it up with driving

Grant and I both ran on the Yok's last year.
They are good. No doubt.

Yea baby 225/45-15
I think when My Hoosiers wear out I will need 245/45 or 245/50 Got to fill them flares and handle my new HP.

I am just about tired of worrying about what class I run it. JUST LET ME RACE I got to beat the the S2000. raw time but PAX would be better.
