The Toyo Ra-1's that I have from 2003 (yes 2003, don't ask ) have a treadware rating of 40. Nothing changed when they re-rated it to 100, it was a purely political move. Treadware ratings are manufacturer set, with no regulation. The +7 tires would be close in reality, by NASA's testing.






So what your saying is that the Hoosier R6, rated at 40, is equivilant to the Toyo RA-1 rated at 100?

No, I'm saying to take manufacturer treadwear ratings with a grain of salt.

Not yet. The fine print says spec series will be treated individually. When, and how, I don't know.

I guess I'll have to improvise for our first event in April.

Email to go out tonight.

If you choose Hoosiers, you just start a lap down.

The more I think about this, the more I want to have some fun with this. Bring whatever you want to Autobahn, and expect some creative handicaps

Hint, it will NOT involve weight.

Are wheels open too? If so I'm getting a set with integrated electric wheel motors. Don't worry, though, I'll have to 300 lbs of batteries to power then, so I'll have lots of ballast. Will I get bonus laps for racing a hybrid vehicle?
