oh, yea, I read the post on nasioc, and i also recommend swapping tires at the track. Drive on street tires to the event (which can double as rains), and stuff the 4 R-comps in the rear (which you can do, get a blanket to put them on though). Then stuff the rest in the trunk.

I mention them because I've read that they're basically the same compound as the Toyos, but don't need to be shaved to prevent squirm. Since he says the tires will mostly be used for PDE's I would think that the instructors will be slowing down the driving if there's enough water on the track really need a lot of tread to prevent hydroplaning.

Just another thought. Personally I'd rather run a better dry weather tire and use my street tires as a backup rain tire. Also, running RA1's on the street regularly may turn them into useless bricks long before you've worn them down.

Yeah...My friend has RA-1's on his Evo and I dont think tread squirm is an issue based on the size of the tread block's. Just heat cycle them.
