It will be. I'm thinking it will be a free set of tires at the end of the year. I'm interested in seeing how well the tires perform.
I'll be running in Track Modified class on the Maxxis RC-1

How you like the RC1's? I was thinking of trying them once I go through the NT01's I have now.

I hope the're good tires because they are cheaper than other options. However, We shall see.
FYI- If you get them, they tend to run bigger than RA1. I ran a 275/35 18 in Toyo's and RC-1 ran a bit wider on 265/35 R18.

I'll let you know how I like them after the first Gridlife event on June 10-12. That will be my first time on this tire. Last year I ran the Toyo RA1's and I have never run a Nitto NT01.

Anotehr debate I've had is moving up to 18's for track tires. Been running 255/40r17's for some time now, but more grip from a bit wider tire would be nice without going to Hoosiers.

Damn, that's a wide tire. The Ra1's are already have the standard rcomp wideness like the Nt01's or r888's. Going down a aize and still being wider should really help with grip.

They're really just not in the budget right now. They're expensive, and have shorter life. Also, the car needs other upgrades first, mainly: better coilovers (likely ohlins r/t's), and I want to go to 2-piece rotors and stainless steel caliper pistons from racing brake.

For brakes, I'd recommend the Essex AP upgrade. Best bang for you buck. Cheaper pads and I went three seasons on the same front rotors. Replaced the rotors, just because.
