I've found a few questionable reviews for what I'm using them for. Basically saying that they feel about like an RE070 Stock Sti tire or a Falken Azenis Sport. And the RA-1 are proven performers.
I think an RA-1 at 5/32 is what I need. |
Just some more food for thought.
I'm not sure you will find the RA-1s that much stickier either. The RA-1s are not as sticky as either Kuhmo Victoracers, or Ecstas. I have them on the Stealth and was quite disappointed with them compared to the Kumhos. And of course, Hoosiers are even stickier. I would say the Azenis Sports are very similar to the RA-1s. The Dunlops are probably pretty similar as well.
My other thouhgt is that unless I'm mistaken, you do not have camber plates, so you are stuck at about 1-1.5 degrees in the front.
IMHO, that is probably severly limiting your traction, and more importantly promoting shoulder wear. R compounds more than street tires need proper alignment due to thier stiff sidewalls. With your alignment, you may find that you are only running on the ouside 2 inches of tire in a corner.
How have your REs, and Sports worn at auto cross?
