To me one of the greatest things about the Toyo RA-1s is you can actually buy the correct sizes for front and rear. My track tires are not either of these two combinations. I go with 205/55/16 Front and 245/45/16 Rear, this is the closest to the OEM setup as you can get.

What about 225-50-16 front and 245-45-16 rear? Wouldn't that be the optimum combination?

225/245 is the prefered national level autocross setup, but with a stiffer aftermarket front antiroll bar to make up for the stagger difference.

205/245 is great for a stock setup and is good for the track. In autocross it eats up the fronts.

The Kuhmos are a better autocross tire since they are better cold. I suspect that the Toyo's are more durable on the track and resist heat abuse better.
