[urq] New 15" Toyo tire

[packley]

Tire sizes.

Toyo has just released a new 15" tire, the 225x45x15 RA1
that some may be interested in trying for use with 7 and 8" wide Ronals.

Since my car is not a daily driver, RA-1's can last 12-15K
and are great for DE events.  I have not tried these on
the urq R8's for clearance yet, but the car has rolled fenders
which allow 225x50x15 GForce Radials to clear
as the tires are not fully into circulation
but they do fit on my BMW 2002 rear 15x7 Alpina rims, so they
would also fit the R8 rims nicely.  Choice for performance
15" tires is otherwise pretty dismal.

Great info Wylie!  Sorry you could not make VIR, we had
a great two day event there, and riding/driving Jim Bauer's
Porsche Carrera GT at 165 mph was awesome!

We do not see many urq's on the track any more, none at VIR but
two GT coupes.  The new V8 S4's are becoming more prevalent, and
interesting
to see the comparison of them vs the comparable M3.

We allow other makes, so there are quite a few M3, Porsche,
on track with some special prepared Mustang Cobras, and other
interesting high HP cars.
