I am looking ot buy a more aggressive track, solo trial tire. I don't want to go with Hoosiers or Kumhos, I'd like to get a season's worth of use out of them. I have narrowed it down to two choices., I need to decide on a size though.

Toyo RA-1
235/45-17 on 8" Rim...Diameter 25.4/ Width 9.3 (Revs per mile 834).$188
235/40-17 on 8" Rim...Diameter 24.4/ Width 9.6 (Revs per mile 852).$177

or perhaps, a more entry level idea

Dunlop SP Super Sport Race
245/40-17 on 8" rim...Diameter 24.7/ Width 9.6...$119
225/45-17 on 8" Rim...Diameter 25 / Width 9.1...$119

The Toyo RA-1 is proven to perform in the applications I've listed. However, I've heard great things about the Dunlop, as a good first step toward full race tires.

Any thoughts.
