RA-1s are a bad Autocross tire. If you want real R compounds, Khumo and Hoosier are historically the only choices, but Hankkok may be changing that. If you want to run in the "street tire" classes, the Falken 615s are probably #1. If you can find a set of 215s still , they are a close second and cheap with the Hankooks are good cheap 3rd alternative. Read the GRM Article for everything you ever wanted to know about the current crop of tires...

Then come back and ask questions, and we wil lie about our experiences with each. :-)

Oh, and as stated earier in the thread, $300 with a full set of "tuner" spline drive lugnuts + a couple spares and 2 spline drivers.
