But damn those tires are expensive haha The most commonly used R-compounds I see are the Toyo Ra-1's and the Nitto Nt-01's both really nice tires I've had both.

Nice car though man maybe I'll see you at this years Nasa events

Thanks for the info. Ive got to get some suspension work/tuning before i go any wider. Already got a bit of rubbing when im killing it at tracks like HTM and the real technical areas of Buttonwillow.

Hope to see you out there too. Got a few of us with NASA already a few more interested i think this year. Youll have no problems finding me out there.
