I've currently got 16x7 wheels. A pretty bust size for tire shopping so i'm considering picking up a 15x8 wheel.
I've got my eye on:
Toyo RA1
Nitto NT01
Yokohama A048-R
I'd like something cheapish but we all know this ish ain't a cheap hobby. I'd like to stay with a rolling diameter of 23-24 inches and I'll probably need some width. It's roughly a 330whp setup.
Love you guys.
- Anyone know if there are clearance issues with the 2002 sport brakes and a 15 inch wheel?
- What are good track tire options for a 15x8
- What are good track tire options for 16x7

Yup...2 new tires coming from Toyo.
The RR is a Dot-R tire targeting the racers who run RA1's and R888's. The tire dealers pushed Toyo to make a tire that cycles like a RA1/R888 but with smooth face and lower thread depth that does not require shaving. Suppose to be the same GG compound that is used in the RA1 and R888.
The RS1 is a full race slick using the same GG compound that is used in the RA1 and R888. It will be a non Dot tire.
The 205 and 225 are a done deal for the RR. I don't know what the deal is for the 245 but would be happy if it were made in either one.
FWIW I have touched them both. Smooth like fine young breasts.
