Would you be able to give us a comparison between these and the Ra1's instead of just saying they are the stickiest by far?

I have heard this from several folks. Grip is not this tires downfall, it is the sidewall. They say it is 'kind-of' stiff, but over time, it starts to flex, to the point, most feel they have to adjsut their line to compensate. I don't know if you would ever feel it on the street though, but after two or three track days, on several 'tire-UNfriendly' tracks, they would show it.

haha, i used to rub so bad with my last set of rims and tires on my old car, went through tires every 6 months! no rubbing, the turning radius sucks so its almost impossible to rub. i couldnt make a u-y in a 2 lane street if i wanted to
