The RA-1s are supposed to have excellent grip and take well to repeated heat cycles...and last for an amazingly long time!

The T1-Ss are suppose to have many of the same qualities...but for a more street oriented tire. They're the tire choice for an increasing number of spec series' that require street tires.

The RA-1s are getting picked up by more and more series' that run R-compounds...

 

good to know

 

I have got Bridgestone RE-01's on at the moment .... I was really pleased with them to start with, but now, after about 2000 miles, I find that it is really easy to get the back out when pushing hard round a corner ..... I know that I am getting more and more comfortable with letting the back step out in these situations, but I don't know whether I am pushing harder, meaning that the back comes out more, or whether the tyres are giving less grip now ...

 

what's "comportable"?

 

No idea mate ... is it a word that you just made up ??

 

It was so much easier before I told how the edit thing works.....

 

I know nothing about the Bridgestones, so I don't know how they would compare to either the tires I just bought or the Kumho's I'm running now.

 

I said that info would come in handy ....

 

It was interesting to note how many of the mainstream performance cars at the motorshow had bridgestones on .....

 

I think bridgestone is like the goodyear of japan....
