Okay, I have decided on some Toyo RA-1's For track tires. I am still undecided on size, Choices:

235-40/ 17 (Smaller Overall Diameter + more width)
235-45/ 17 ( Little taller, little bit thinner.)

I'm thinking the 40's.

Anyway, for those of you that have run them before, do I need to shave them down, I've heard 3/32 is good, the tire comes with 8/32. Your thoughts? I want to use these for Solo Trials and Track days.

Thanks in Advance.
